About Caprese
Caprese is a classic Italian dish known for its simplicity and vibrant flavors. Traditionally, it consists of fresh slices of ripe tomatoes, creamy mozzarella cheese, and aromatic basil leaves, all drizzled with olive oil and often seasoned with salt and pepper. Some variations add balsamic glaze for extra tanginess. Originating from the island of Capri, Caprese embodies the fresh ingredients synonymous with Mediterranean cuisine. Nutritionally, Caprese offers several benefits: tomatoes are rich in vitamins A and C as well as antioxidants, basil provides anti-inflammatory properties, and olive oil contributes heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. Mozzarella adds protein and calcium, though it is higher in saturated fat, so moderation may be advisable for those watching fat intake. Overall, Caprese is a wholesome and refreshing dish that highlights the healthful aspects of Mediterranean eating while delivering a satisfying balance of textures and flavors.
