Caciocavallo Appetizer
Caciocavallo literally means cheese on horseback. The name comes more from the look rather than the source because the cheese when purchased looks like saddlebags. It is a type of cheese which has been aged for a minimum of 4 to 6 months and when added with tomatoes it makes a fantastic appetizer or addition to any meal. Your friends will love this treat and is likely something they have never tried before. 
Ingredients
Caciocavallo cheese (no substitutes)
Tomatoes (Roma or small sized)
Olive Oil
Fresh Basil
Start by cutting thin squares of cheese which are no larger than the diameter of the tomato you are using. Place the tomato slice directly on the cheese, add a drop of extra virgin olive oil and some fresh basil and that is it. This cheese has a unique texture and is very smooth.
Another easy Italian recipe which can be server as an appetizer. Try sharing it with a glass of red wine. Mangiare!
