Description
Smoked Scamorza Caseificio Pugliese 250g is a typical product derived from the processing of cow's milk. Smoked Scamorza Caseificio Pugliese 250g is also known as provola, and the word provola comes from the Italian 'provare', which in this case means to find the right moment for spinning. The provola has a brown color due to smoking, with a soft white paste that is pleasant to the taste. Provola is considered a more noble cheese than mozzarella, and it can be consumed after a few months, thanks to the spinning process which lasts longer during production and the smoking traditionally done with straw. In this case, buffalo milk guarantees the provola a stronger flavor compared to that produced with cow's milk. Pairings: Smoked provola is a cheese to be enjoyed on its own, as an appetizer with rustic bread and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. It is an ingredient in many dishes such as pizza and pasta. Pair with a medium-bodied Aglianico like Taurasi Feudi di San Gregorio. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Processing: The processing of smoked provola is very similar to that of buffalo mozzarella from Campania. As a variant from regular provola, buffalo milk is used, which gives the cheese more flavor. The milk is always inoculated with starter whey and added with rennet; the curd is broken into small pieces and the paste is left to acidify. The spinning of provola is longer than that of mozzarella, making the paste more consistent. After the cheese is finished, the provola is placed in a smoking environment, which makes the product unique and brown. Aging: 24
