About Mozarella caprese

Mozzarella Caprese is a classic Italian dish celebrated for its simplicity and freshness. This appetizer typically consists of sliced mozzarella cheese, ripe tomatoes, fresh basil leaves, and a drizzle of olive oil, often topped with balsamic vinegar or glaze. Originating from the Campania region of Italy, it highlights Mediterranean cuisine's emphasis on vibrant and nutritious ingredients. Rich in protein and calcium from the mozzarella, it also provides antioxidants like lycopene from tomatoes and vitamin K from basil. Olive oil adds heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, while its low carbohydrate content makes it a suitable option for various diets. However, portion sizes are key, as excessive cheese or oil can increase calorie and fat intake. Perfect as a light dish or starter, Mozzarella Caprese offers both flavor and nutritional balance in every bite.
