Marinated Fresh Mozzarella Cheese

"Ah, Mozzarella, those savory southern Italian spheres. They make pizza pizza, they make a Caprese salad more than just tomatoes and basil. They’re unmistakable, and undeniably delicious…so could anything make these gorgeous globes better? How about an olive-oil-based Marinade flavored with herbs and spices? We couldn’t agree more! Which is how we ended up with Trader Joe’s Marinated Fresh Mozzarella. It pairs delicate ciliegini (Italian for “small cherries” denoting the size of each Mozzarella ball) with an elegantly seasoned oil. This item is a true two-in-one purchase. Not only do you get delicately flavored Mozzarella balls that are ideal for Caprese salads, slicing and serving on a sandwich, or adding to your favorite pasta; you also get a spiced olive oil that is great for drizzling on a green salad, dipping a fresh baguette into, or enhancing a sauce for that aforementioned pasta! Fresh Mozzarella and seasoned olive oil are both delicious on their own, and even better together. Our biggest piece of advice: grab a second tub so you can dip, skewer, serve, and melt without worrying about the road not taken–or rather, the recipe not followed!"
