Product Description

Scamorza Fiorella, a pasteurised cow’s milk cheese produced in north west Sicily, very similar to the pear-shaped Provolone.

This is a ‘stretched’ curd cheese in which the curds mature in their own whey for a few hours to allow acidity to develop.  The cheese is then usually tied with string (known as ‘strangling’) and then left to dry.  This cheese is a smoked variety –  Scamorza is often used as a replacement for mozzarella where a stronger and more dominant flavour is required.  It melts particularly well in baking.

Originating in Apulia and Calabria, Scamorza is more often made in the south of Italy.
