Discover the productThe questions most often asked
What is smoked scamorza?
Scamorza, whose name is believed to derive from “capa mozza,” meaning “cut-off head,” is a semi-cooked stretched-curd cheese made from cow’s, sheep’s, or buffalo’s milk. The smoking process is carried out by exposing the scamorza to the smoke of damp straw.
What dishes can I prepare with smoked scamorza?
Smoked scamorza is a flavorful cheese that is very versatile in the kitchen. You can prepare many delicious dishes such as: smoked scamorza and pancetta skewers, Mediterranean-style baked scamorza parcels, zucchini and scamorza risotto, potato gattò with scamorza and soppressata, eggplant and scamorza meatballs, and many other dishes as well.
How is smoked scamorza made?
The production of scamorza involves cooling the cheese forms in water, then placing them in brine for about half an hour, and finally moving on to the aging stage. Both provola and scamorza can be smoked first and then aged.

Scamorza bianca
Discover the productThe questions most often asked
What is white scamorza?
Scamorza is a cheese of southern Italian origin, with a very short aging period, made from cow’s and goat’s milk mixed together, or from cow’s milk only. White scamorza, also known as fresh scamorza, has a thin white or straw-yellow rind and a softer, sweeter, and more delicate flavor than smoked scamorza, with notes reminiscent of fresh milk.
What is the difference between scamorza and provola?
Scamorza is usually darker than provola, which tends to be whiter and has a thin rind. Shape is key in telling the two cheeses apart: scamorza has a flattened, spherical shape, while provola is more pear-shaped, with the size varying depending on the weight. Unlike scamorza, provola is a stretched-curd cheese that does not undergo the stufatura (warm resting) process during preparation; it has a thin rind and a more tapered shape. The flavor difference between the two cheeses becomes less noticeable when both are smoked.
Which dishes are recommended with white scamorza?
White scamorza is ideal for filling a wide range of dishes, such as stuffed eggplants and peppers; pasta and potatoes with the addition of scamorza (depending on taste, smoked scamorza is also excellent); baked pasta with zucchini and scamorza; puff pastry parcels with speck and scamorza; and finally, jacket potatoes.
In addition, white scamorza is also used to make tortano bread, a traditional Neapolitan bread.

When to choose fresh cheeses for your customers
Fresh cheeses are those with a creamy or soft consistency, whose curd has not been cooked but only slightly matured. These cheeses typically have a very short shelf life, meaning they are best consumed within a few days.
Fresh cheeses have always been part of the Mediterranean culinary tradition. Light and often creamy, they are ideal as an appetizer or in various recipes. This type of cheese can be successfully served in summer dishes, given its lightness, or year-round, simply because it is lower in fat and calories.
Latteria Sorrentina offers a varied selection of fresh cheeses for restaurants, pizzerias, and trattorias. You can choose from many varieties to meet your customers’ every need.
