Antipasto and charcuterie are both types of appetizers that feature a mix of cured meats, cheeses, and other items such as olives, pickles, etc., but they do have some differences. The main difference between the two is that antipasto tends to have more vegetables and fewer cured meats, while charcuterie is focused on the meats and their presentation. Antipasto is also Italian cuisine, while charcuterie is a French term that has a more general European and global influence.
