Caprese All Day

Taste the difference with field-grown heirloom tomatoes and fresh mozzarella.

You say tomato, we say you’ve gotta try our heirlooms!

There’s nothing better than biting into that first tomato of the summer, especially if that tomato is an heirloom. We can’t get enough of these juicy beauties and are proud to carry five delicious varieties this month!

Grown by the Wilgenburg family in Dinuba, California, our field-grown heirloom tomatoes are fertilized by rich compost made on the farm. Each one is carefully picked and packed by hand. We offer a range of colorful, unique options, from colossal Marvel Stripes to sweet, juicy Red Oxhearts. Mix them together with our fresh mozzarella for the best-tasting, most colorful caprese salad under the sun.

Triumph of Cheese Burrata

Although burrata is made from mozzarella, it isn’t technically classified as such. The mozzarella used to make burrata is formed into a pouch and filled with a soft cream. The name literally means “butter” in Italian. Feel free to use it interchangeably with fresh mozzarella. We especially love it in our recipe for Grilled Peach and Burrata Salad.
