The scamorza is a stretched-curd cheese made from cow’s milk and it is considered “Prodotto Agroalimentare Tradizionale” (PAT).
The origin of the word “scamorza” probably refers to its shape, since it looks like a “capa mozzata”, that is a cut head. Its rind is smooth, thin and ivory. The passita can be pear-shaped with a little head or shaped like a braid. The surface is smooth, straw-yellow; its texture is compact, elastic, peelable, even and white in colour. It’s a prevailing sweet taste cheese, used mainly as a table cheese.
