Like with most Italian recipes, simplicity is foremost. Stracciatella is a mixture of mozzarella made with buffalo milk and cream. Its gentle and creamy taste combines perfectly with tomatoes and strawberries. If you can’t find Stracciatella, you are welcome to use any cream cheese.

For orange sauce:
