Ingredient

4 large plum tomatoes, each cut into 4 slices
2 balls (each 8 oz) buffalo mozzarella or fior di latte cheese, each cut into 8 slices
16 whole basil leaves, stemmed
1/3 cup Filippo Berio Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
4 tsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp salt

Method

On serving platter, arrange 4 stacks; for each stack, start with tomato slice on bottom, then layer mozzarella slice and basil leaf over top, repeating three more times for each stack (each stack should have 4 slices of tomatoes, 4 slices of mozzarella and 4 basil leaves total).
In small bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar and salt; drizzle over stacks. Serve immediately.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Filippo Berio’s classic, balanced Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Taken from the first cold pressing of the olives, this oil is ideal for sauces, marinades, drizzling and dipping.
