About the product

Scamorza is an Italian, spun-paste cow’s milk cheese. Shaped like provolone in a pear shape, it is a semi-soft white cheese with a texture comparable to that of a firm, dry mozzarella.

At the end of the cheese-making process, the cheese is hung together in strings to ripen for about two weeks. The process of ripening the cheese has given its name: Scamorza, which means ‘beheaded’ in southern Italy.

The smoked variant is made by smoking the cheese over flaming straw for around 10 to 15 minutes.

The texture of Scamorza is elastic and stringy with piquant, milky and creamy flavours. Smoked Scamorza has a subtle, smoky flavour with a sweet, light caramel note.

Scamorza is used as a substitute for mozzarella.

This is a pre-order cheese and waiting period to receive it is approximately 2 weeks.
