Straight from the Neapolitan cuisine, in the colors of the Italian flag, a luxurious caprese salad with olives in the style of Capri! A real classic and normally so tomato, mozzarella, olive oil and some basil leaves. Add a little salt and that's it. So delicious in all its simplicity. A popular dish in Italy as “primo”.
