The Simplest Starter: Tomato, Basil and Mozarella

 

This starter is so simple and classical and especially delicious drizzled with an artisan olive oil. I simply sliced some buffalo mozzarella and tomatoes and alternated them on a small plate. Then garnished them with slivers of basil and served a tiny jug of an artisan olive oil alongside.
I used some Taihoa Tides Olive Oil which I discovered last weekend at the Artisan Market in Whangarei. Taihoa olive oil is 100% pure Parua Bay NZ. The olives are pressed within moments of picking at the vineyard itself, so the oil is fresh and pure.
