Scamorza Affumicata

Scamorza cheese is a spun paste (pasta filata family).

Our cheese-makers divide the spun paste with their own hands, working and shaping it in its traditional pear shape with a bottleneck at the top, referred to as “strangling” the cheese.

These Scamorza forms are then usually tied in pairs then left to dry.

​Scamorza can be a substitute for mozzarella in most dishes but the resulting taste will be much stronger, dominant. and is reputed to melt better in baking and under the grill.

​Produced in 900g sausage shaped logs or 250g pear shape. Scamorza can be smoked “affumicata” or unsmoked.
