Notes

To achieve the best flavor, always use high-quality extra virgin olive oil and the freshest cherry tomatoes available. If you are planning to serve this at a party, prepare the components in advance but store the whipped cheese and the tomato mixture in separate containers to prevent the dip from becoming too watery.
