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.
