Scamorza is a traditional Italian stretched curd cheese made from cow's milk, though versions using sheep or goat milk also exist. Originating from southern Italy, it is similar to mozzarella but firmer and milder in flavor. Scamorza is typically aged for a few days and is available in regular or smoked varieties, giving it a distinctive, slightly caramelized taste. Nutritionally, it provides a good source of protein, calcium, and vitamin B12, supporting bone health and energy metabolism. However, like most cheeses, it is high in saturated fats and sodium, so portion control is key to maintaining a balanced diet. Scamorza melts beautifully, making it a popular choice for dishes like pizza, pasta bakes, and grilled sandwiches. This versatile cheese brings creamy richness to many recipes while being an excellent addition to both Mediterranean-inspired and global cuisines.
