How to eat scamorza cheese like an Italian.
In Italy, scamorza cheese is a fast, easy, dinner dish. All you have to do is slice and bake a plain or smoked scamorza in the oven, add a few slices of prosciutto crudo, and serve it with a salad.
Of course, there are many other ways to eat scamorza, modern, rustic, or traditional, but this is the most popular one.

There’s another delicious and Summery way to eat scamorza, I learned about it in the Costiera Amalfitana: grilled scamorza with lemon leaves.
They usually lay a slice of scamorza on a lemon leaf and grill it on a barbecue.
I made scamorza skewers with lemon leaves: the same result and an easier dish to make and eat.
