About this product

Description

Smoked scamorza is a delicious and unique cheese that originates from southern Italy. It is a variant of the traditional scamorza cheese, which is a semi-soft, stretched curd cheese similar to mozzarella. However, what sets smoked scamorza apart is its distinctive smoky flavour and aroma. To create smoked scamorza, the cheese undergoes a special smoking process. After being formed into small, pear-shaped balls or cylindrical shapes, it is first lightly smoked over natural wood chips or sawdust. The smoking process imparts a rich and smoky flavour to the cheese, giving it a unique character that is both savoury and slightly sweet. Smoked scamorza is a true delicacy that appeals to cheese enthusiasts and food lovers alike. Its unique smoky flavour and versatility make it a standout choice for those seeking a new and exciting cheese experience.
  • The exterior of smoked scamorza is pale yellow to light brown in colour, with a slightly firm and smooth texture. When cut open, the cheese reveals a creamy, ivoury-coloured interior that is slightly elastic and stringy, reminiscent of its mozzarella origins.
  • The smoky flavour of smoked scamorza pairs beautifully with a variety of ingredients and dishes. It is commonly used in Italian cuisine, particularly in pasta dishes, salads, and pizzas. When melted, smoked scamorza becomes wonderfully gooey, making it a fantastic choice for grilled sandwiches or panini.
  • The versatility of smoked scamorza extends beyond Italian cuisine. Its distinct smokiness can enhance the flavour of charcuterie boards, adding depth to cured meats and other cheeses. It can also be enjoyed on its own or as part of a cheese platter, paired with fruits, nuts, and crusty bread.
