These scamorza sticks are the size of a small hot dog.  Scamorza is a spun-paste cheese of whole pasteurised cow milk. The paste is like mozzarella paste, but drier.  After the paste has been made it is rolled with a pin with wholes that cuts the paste into a stick-like shape, they are first cooled and then cold-smoked (with Beechwood chips, below 18°C), so they can acquire the distinctive aroma and flavour.
Best served warm.
