Scamorza is a signature Italian cheese that’s hung on ropes to age. This technique has been used by artisans for hundreds of years, giving the cheese its distinct pear-shaped body. A relative of the Fior di Latte mozzarella, but with a bolder and more buttery flavor, Ferndale Farmstead Smoked Scamorza is perfect for recipes like lasagna, where the delicious melting of the "stretched-curd" family of cheese is desired. All their cheeses are crafted on their working farm in Ferndale, Washington, using milk from their own cows, which are fed the grass that’s raised on their land.

Fun fact: The scamorza comes with the rope, so you can hang it in your kitchen to age for a day or two!
