Tomino

Over the summer, I went to Italy for a month to see my mother who lives there. I stayed with her and her boyfriend, who manages a resort hotel just outside of the center of Rome. I went to this hotel almost everyday, and I ate a lot of delicious new food combinations that I’ve never had before. One of the two dishes that became my favorite was the Tomino. It looked like this:

This is a small block of tomino cheese wrapped in bacon with balsamic vinegar on top, resting on top of a small bowl of salad. This was a completely new idea to me and it was one of the best things I’ve ever tasted. I would recommend this dish to anyone who enjoys cheese. It’s a new flavor and it’s fairly simple to make, using only a few ingredients.
