Discover the delicious taste of Scamorza (Italian: [skaˈmɔrtsa]), a savoury cheese hailing from southern Italy. Made from rich cow's milk, it can also be crafted from other types of milk, though less commonly. Using the pasta filata (‘stretched curd’) method, the curd is allowed to mature in its own whey for several hours, resulting in a distinctive acidity from the conversion of lactose to lactic acid. Artisan cheese makers shape the cheese into a round form and tie a string around it one-third of the way from the top, then hang it to dry. This process creates a unique pear-like shape, often referred to as "strangling" the cheese. The typical colour of Scamorza is white, but when smoked, it takes on an almond colour with a lighter interior. Substitute Scamorza for mozzarella in most recipes for a delightful twist.
