Its a simple way to like a crowd without breaking a sweat.

This product immediately caught my eye because I had never seen anything like it in stores.

My picnic Caprese was gone in a matter of minutes, and its been my go-to ever since.

At $3.99, this 8-oz package of mozzarella will cost you about 50 cents per serving.
