Calabro Scamorza Bianca is a cow's milk cheese originating from the Puglia region of Italy. It is very similar to mozzarella, but considered to melt better than mozzarella when baked. It is pear shaped due to a production method called "strangling the cheese" where the fresh round cheese is hung to dry by means of a string tied a third of the way from the top. Scamorza is mild flavored, and the texture is stringy and chewy, less moist than mozzarella. It is often used with pasta.
Imported from Italy and sold by the 1.5lb piece.
