Smoked Scamorza 2kg

Scamorza is an Italian, stretched-curd cheese that belongs to the pasta filata family, similar to mozzarella. This smoked scamorza cheese originates from Southern Italy, particularly the regions of Apulia, Calabria, and Campania. The name “scamorza” comes from the Southern Italian word “scamozzare,” meaning “to remove” or “to take off,” referring to the cheese’s distinctive shape formed during production.

The cheese is made by stretching and kneading fresh curds, giving it a smooth and elastic texture. It is shaped into a pear or ball-like form, tied with a string, and hung to age. In the case of Scamorza 2kg, the smoking process adds a distinctive depth of flavour and a golden-brown outer colour, resulting in a rich, savoury profile that sets it apart from fresh mozzarella.

As it matures, Italian smoked cheese like scamorza develops a firmer texture and a more intense, savoury taste. When melted, it becomes beautifully gooey and stretchy, making it ideal for pizzas, pasta dishes, grilled sandwiches, and baked recipes where strong flavour and excellent meltability are desired.

Whether enjoyed sliced on its own, added to antipasto platters, or melted into hot dishes, scamorza offers a bold and authentic Italian cheese experience. If you want to buy scamorza cheese online in the UK, this premium smoked variety delivers both traditional craftsmanship and standout flavour.
