For the best flavor, use high-quality, fresh ingredients, especially whole-milk mozzarella. If you don't have fresh basil, you can substitute with dried basil, but the flavor will not be as intense. Aged balsamic vinegar can add a sweet and complex dimension to this dish. Serve with crusty bread for dipping in the olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
