Cheeses / Scamorza
Scamorza
A pear-shaped, air-dried mozzarella that shreds, grills and fries beautifully.
Scamorza is a pear-shaped cheese made by tying a fresh mozzarella ball about a third of the way from the top and hanging it to dry. After drying, the cheese is either packaged immediately or naturally smoked over cherrywood chips. Scamorza can be used in the same dishes as fresh mozzarella, but since it is dried it is slightly firmer, shreds exceptionally well, and can even be grilled or fried.
