Today we brought in the daily harvest 
of tomatoes and I knew it was time for the first Caprese salad of the season
You may notice that the tomatoes I’m using for my Caprese salad are Paesano and Sungold tomatoes and 
not the typical large heirloom varieties that one uses in a Caprese salad
We primarily grow Paesano tomatoes which is like a San Marzano and it’s
great for homemade passata On the surface a Caprese salad is 
little more than tomatoes mozzarella basil and the trimmings in this case Bona 
Fortuna olive oil and Bona Fortuna aged balsamic vinegar salt and pepper
But add on what you’d like My mom often adds peppers and onions 
onto hers as well but this is the perfect example of what Italian food does so well
The ingredients are simple but fresh They’re eaten at the peak of flavor in their
perfect season They’re adorned with little more 
than fat and acid to bring out their beautiful flavors and they’re 
served fresh to people you love
