About Scamorza cheese

Scamorza cheese is a semi-soft, Italian cow's milk cheese known for its mild and slightly tangy flavor. Originating from Southern Italy, particularly Puglia and Campania, it is traditionally crafted by stretching and molding the curd into a pear-shaped form. This cheese is typically aged for about two weeks, giving it a firm texture ideal for melting, making it popular in baked dishes, pizzas, and paninis. Nutritionally, scamorza is a good source of protein and calcium, vital for bone health and muscle repair. However, it is also relatively high in saturated fats and sodium, so moderation is key. Its lower moisture content compared to mozzarella makes it a flavorful yet versatile ingredient in both Italian cuisine and fusion recipes. Choose smoked scamorza for a richer taste, often enhanced during barbecue-style cooking.
