Arrigoni Scamorza Affumicata (Smoked Scamorza) 250g
Scamorza is a cow milk cheese that belongs to the pasta filata family. Scamorza means beheaded in southern Italy; the cheese is named such due to its shape and the process in which it is made. It is semi-soft, stretched-curd cheese. Scamorza has a chewy and firm texture.
It is smoked and hence, called Scamorza affumicata. After smoking, the white and milky Scamorza gets a woody and nutty smell. The distinct smoky flavour makes it popular with Italians. Richly aromatic and flavourful, the rind is edible. Scamorza is best enjoyed fresh or melted. It is perfect for an antipasto platter or can be grated over pasta Pomodoro.
