Scamorza or Filone Smoked Cow Mozzarella

Smoked Cow Mozzarella approx 300gm 3kg tray

Introducing Scamorza, a delectable cheese originating from southern Italy. Crafted from high-quality cow's milk, it can also be made with other types of milk, although this is less common. Using the traditional pasta filata (or "stretched curd") method, the curd is allowed to mature in its own whey for several hours, resulting in a distinct tanginess from the conversion of lactose to lactic acid. Skilled artisans shape the cheese into a round form and tie a string one-third of the way down, then hang it to dry. This unique process gives it a distinctive pear-like shape, affectionately known as the "strangled" cheese. While the original Scamorza is white in color, a smoked version boasts a lovely almond hue with a lighter interior. Substitute it for mozzarella in most recipes for an unexpected twist.
