The taste can be heightened by carefully using the highest-quality ingredients.
TOMATOES
It is absolutely crucial to buy the best tomatoes you possibly can from your supermarkets or local markets. Tomatoes are the base for this dish and its taste is the key. You need to find Large and Ripe Tomatoes. You get a bonus because large ones are easier to cut!
MOZZARELLA
If you have a high standard to the taste of your food like me, you will also need to find the best kind of Mozzarella. Here I recommend Buffalo Mozzarella. It’s made from water buffalo milk, which is creamier, softer, and far more flavorful than the regular mozzarella that is made from cow milk. In terms of price, it is a bit more expensive. It is fine to use regular mozzarella if you cannot find the Buffalo kind. The taste is still good. But you will immediately tell the difference once you have tried both kinds.
FRESH BASIL
It’s best to use fresh Basil leaves. Fresh Basil has a very nice fragrance and might have better health benefits than dried basil. For this recipe, it’s very important to use fresh Basil!
