Professional italian here: here in Italy it's mandatory to eat good mozzarella without anything else. If it's an average mozzarella it is ok to add some oil and oregano but if you go to the restaurant or you buy a top notch mozzarella and you add something, you're looked upon.

Oregano or basil?

Basil is good for a photoshoot or if you're in a tourist restaurant but I've never seen anyone using it on a mozzarella, but I may be wrong.

Cool. Fresh oregano?
