Scamorza is an Italian semi-soft cheese, similar to mozzarella but with a firmer texture and more pronounced flavor. Made from cow's milk, it is shaped like a pear and often hung to age, which enhances its slightly tangy taste. Scamorza can be enjoyed fresh or smoked, the latter adding a rich, smoky depth to its flavor. It's versatile in the kitchen, ideal for melting in dishes like pizzas, pastas, and grilled sandwiches, or sliced and served as part of a cheese platter. Its unique texture and robust flavor make scamorza a favorite in both traditional and contemporary Italian cooking.
