Why This Summer Burrata Salad Works

This recipe shines because of its balance: the creaminess of burrata, the sweetness of peaches and figs, and the acidity of heirloom tomatoes. The slight bitterness of radicchio (if added) rounds out the flavors. What ties it all together is Piro high antioxidant olive oil—a luxury olive oil brand crafted in Tuscany that elevates fresh produce with peppery, vibrant complexity.

Unlike typical oils, Piro extra virgin olive oil is both bold and refined, designed as a finishing olive oil for salads. Its richness transforms seasonal ingredients into something extraordinary.
