smoked mozzarella
Cured Italian cheese
Smoked mozzarella is mozzarella cheese that has been exposed to smoke, giving it a golden-brown rind and a distinctive smoky flavor.
The Italian version, *scamorza affumicata*, is often shaped like a teardrop or gourd.
It melts well and adds depth to pizzas, pastas, and sandwiches: The smoked mozzarella gave the lasagna a richer flavor.
