A simple twist that makes this classic unforgettable.

There are recipes that are beautiful… and then there are recipes that are beautiful and surprising.

This Smoky Tomato Mozzarella Caprese Salad starts like the classic we all know and love — juicy cherry tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, fresh basil. But then we add something that makes everyone pause mid-bite…

Olive Wood Smoked Premium Olive Oil.

That gentle, wood-fired smokiness wraps around the sweetness of the tomatoes and the creaminess of the mozzarella in the most delicious way. And when you drizzle in our Mission Fig Dark Balsamic Vinegar? You get this subtle, rich sweetness that makes the whole dish feel layered and special.

It’s fresh. It’s simple. It feels like summer.
And yet it tastes like you spent far more time on it than you did.
