Caprese is a traditional Italian snack food. The name of this appetizer received from the island of Capri. Thanks to red, white, and green, echoing the colors of the Italian flag, Caprese became one of the national dishes of Italy. In the traditional recipe must use mozzarella from Buffalo milk black, the best varieties of tomatoes for Caprese — "Bull's heart", and olive oil should be cold pressed. Don't know what milk used for the production of domestic mozzarella, but even without such fanaticism appetizer that is necessary! :)
