Smoked Scamorza, 250g

Smoked Scamorza Cheese is 250g of smoked scamorza, the Southern Italian pear-shaped pasta filata cheese, dried and smoked for a firm, smoky and deeply savoury character. Smoked scamorza cheese is the finest melting cheese in the Italian range. As a result, it melts into creamy stretchiness with a smoke note that enriches any pizza, pasta or gratin. Furthermore, the firmer texture than mozzarella means it holds its shape until the moment of melting. In particular, grilled in slices alongside vegetables it makes one of the finest simple preparations.

About Smoked Scamorza Cheese

We source Italian fresh cheese from specialist producers in Campania, Puglia and Lombardy. In particular, the buffalo herds of the Volturno valley produce the finest mozzarella di bufala in the world. As a result, a genuine DOP mozzarella has a character that no supermarket alternative can replicate. Furthermore, burrata, stracciatella and scamorza each represent a distinct Italian tradition. However, fresh Italian cheese has a short shelf life and is best consumed within 2 to 3 days of delivery. In particular, Parmigiano Reggiano is the foundational Italian hard cheese. Additionally, Gorgonzola DOP from IGOR is one of Italy’s most celebrated blues. That commitment to DOP certification defines every Italian cheese we offer. That is why this product from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cheese lovers.
