Oh, honey, those were grocery store tomatoes and grocery store mozzarella. Like Sara says the bufula is to die for and even better tomatoes are available. But now try the pears. Let them sit a day or two until yellow and a little soft. Then have with a nice gargonzola or the cheese that has walnuts in it.
Good luck with your adventures, I found you through Ms. Expatria. Let us know if you come up to Tuscany.

Seriously, I hate tomatoes. Or at least, thought I did until I went to Roma and had real ones… and found that real tomatoes actually taste amazing! Now though, I’m back in the States and of course hate them again..

I’ll second the nomination for the bufala. It’s divine. If you happen to be in a region where it’s an option to have added to your pizza instead of ‘normal’ mozzarella? Do it! A Margherita pizza with bufala is to die for.

I can’t wait to hear what happens when you try mozzarella di bufala (buffalo milk mozzarella) or some of the more small-production mozzarella that you can get at the salumerie / deli – they’re usually floating in water or in wrapped in paper floating in the water and get fished out when you want them.

To really blow your head off, try burrata.
