Scamorza

Caseificio Artigiana describes its white scamorza as a handmade stretched-curd cheese, shaped like a pear with a small head. The dairy explains that working curd with boiling water creates a fibrous, elastic mass that its cheesemakers shape by hand.

For its smoked scamorza, Artigiana names beechwood smoke: the dairy describes an amber-colored cheese with a pronounced smoky aroma. The white and smoked products show two different finishes within this producer’s range.
