Scamorza is spun-paste cheese like mozzarella, only drier, made with whole pasteurized cow milk. These “bundles”  or  fagottini are of scamorza spun-paste, first rolled into a sheet, cut into “panzerotti”  (a small version of calzone)and stuffed with a variety of ingredients such as ham, stuffed olives and mushrooms. After they have been cooled they are smoked to acquire a distinctive smoky aroma and flavour. For best results, we recommend serving  warm, either warming them up in the oven, microwave or in a pan, as long as it is warm.
