This is a product that really makes us want to have a Caprese salad for lunch. Or dinner. And because Trader Joe’s Fresh Mozzarella Log is so fresh and so easy to use, making that salad will be easier than ever. Inside the package are slices of fresh mozzarella, perfectly sized to perch atop a substantial slice of tomato, and longing to be topped with a basil leaf. Instant Insalata Caprese, no cheese slicing required. Each package contains 16 ounces of Fresh Mozzarella, crafted with milk from cows – primarily from Idaho’s fertile Treasure Valley – not treated with rBST. The cheese is mild and milky and fresh-tasting, as a good Fresh Mozzarella should always be.

When it comes time to craft that Caprese, be sure to pick up a Basil Plant and some Organic Tomatoes on the Vine, and some good olive oil & balsamic vinegar to round out the recipe (you could also choose from the myriad dressing options you’ll find on our grocery shelves or in our refrigerator case). Of course, you can also use this pre-sliced Fresh Mozzarella Log for panini, pizza, or cut into smaller pieces to toss into a salad.
