April 7, 2006, Newsletter Issue #56: Scamorze

Tip of the Week

Somewhat similar to provolone, Scamorze is from the Campania region of Italy and may also be found in Abruzzi and Molise. It is made from cow’s milk and has a fat content of 44%. Its interesting gourd shape with a narrow neck is tied with a cord with 4 little loops on top; it is mostly seen hanging in Italian grocery and delicatessen stores. Scamorze has a delicate nutty flavor and a glossy, golden yellow skin. It may be eaten at the end of a meal in pieces and also in some pasta dishes, best when fresh.
