CAPRESE: The Quintessence of Italian Flavors
Embark on a culinary journey to Italy with the iconic Caprese starter at La Cupola Pizzeria. This dish pays homage to the tricolors of the Italian flag, weaving fresh ingredients together in an appetizing tapestry that appeals to both the eyes and the palate. Here’s what to expect:
Ingredients:
- Sliced Beef Tomatoes: These are the heroes of our Caprese, delivering a robust flavor profile characterized by a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. Sliced to the perfect thickness, they form a juicy, refreshing base for the dish.
- Mozzarella Di Bufala: Synonymous with authenticity, this mozzarella brings creaminess and a tender texture to the table. Its fresh, slightly tangy taste pairs perfectly with the tomatoes, creating a match made in heaven.
- Fresh Basil: Adding a vibrant green hue and a peppery, sweet aroma, fresh basil leaves bring a splash of summer to the dish. It not only lends a fresh, aromatic note but also adds a layer of complexity to the flavors.
- Oregano: This herb brings a depth of flavor, with its earthy, minty notes marrying beautifully with the freshness of the basil and the creaminess of the mozzarella.
- Olive Oil: Drizzled generously, our fine olive oil binds the components into a harmonious ensemble, adding a rich, fruity note and a silky texture that dances gracefully on the palate.
