Start by finely chopping the salami, pepperoni, Kalamata olives, roasted red peppers, and sun-dried tomatoes. This preparation should take around 10 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, freshly chopped ingredients, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and fresh parsley. Blend until the mixture is creamy, approximately 5 minutes.

Lay out a large piece of plastic wrap and spoon the cream cheese mixture onto the center. Fold the wrap over the mixture to form a log shape, shaping and tightening the log.

Refrigerate the wrapped log for at least 2 hours or ideally overnight to allow it to firm up and flavors to meld.

Once chilled, unwrap the log and set it on a platter. Roll in optional chopped nuts if desired.

Slice the log into even pieces and serve with crackers, crostini, or fresh veggies.
