Scamorza affumicata is a surprisingly tasty Italian smoked cheese that goes perfectly with this easy pasta salad. Discover how to quickly put a tasty salad on the table! As I write the title of this recipe, I just know that a lot of people will be scratching their heads. Scamorza-what? What ingredient did you use again? Italian cuisine is also very close to my heart. Or rather to the stomach and taste buds actually. A salad with scamorza cheese.
What is Scamorza Affumicata?
We are going to work with scamorza affumicata, a smoked cheese from Italy. It is a firm cheese that is made in almost the same way as mozzarella. The cheese ripens in its own whey. Then it is hung on a string, hence the shape, and then it is smoked. The cheese has a typical taste and you can make delicious dishes with it. In a cheese sauce, on a pizza, but also in a salad. In this recipe mixed scamorza affumicata salad we are going to work with that typical cheese.
Mixed scarmorza affumicata salad
A scamorza affumicata is a smoked cheese that has the shape of a pear-shaped ball. When you remove the packaging, a smoky smell is immediately released. I really liked this cheese in combination with the pasta salad, because the smoke flavor was not too strong. I want to make another recipe with scamorza affumicata soon, because I think that many people in the Netherlands do not know this cheese yet. That's a shame, because it's a nice variation on the well-known mozzarella cheese.
By the way, the cheese is a "hard" cheese. Not to be compared with those mozzarella's in moisture that you buy in the plastic bags or containers in the supermarket. You probably won't find this cheese in your supermarket either. I ordered it myself online at Crisp, which is a shopping service. They often have nice and special products.
Here you will find the complete recipe with all the ingredients you need. I hope you have fun preparing the dish below.

And this is how you make it:
- Boil the maccheroni, drain and return to the pan with a dash of olive oil so they don't stick together.
- Boil the eggs and then cut them into pieces.
- Break the broccoli into small florets. (You can store the stump in the freezer for a soup, for example).
- Chop the red onions, dice the apple, and also finely chop the scamorza. No scamorza? Use smoked mozzarella or provolone.
- For the photo I first put everything on a plate in 8-8 parts. But in your case I would just mix everything in a bowl at once.
- Take a measuring cup and whisk in all the ingredients and the fine dressing. Drizzle this over the salad.
- Delicious bites!
