Tomato and strawberry carpaccio
At Oliviers & Co. Prague, we love combinations that are fresh, yet simple. This tomato and strawberry carpaccio is based on a simple balance: between the natural acidity of the fruit and the delicious taste of mozzarella.
Unusual combination of flavors
This carpaccio is based on a surprising combination: the juicy pulp of sun-ripened tomatoes and the distinct sweetness of fresh strawberries. To add richness to this vibrant base, we add delicate balls of creamy mozzarella, creating an irresistible contrast of textures.
