Scamorza Amore Bundle

Tasting notes of the Curator

Scamorza offers gentle smokiness and a supple, elastic texture that sets it apart from fresh mozzarella. When warmed, it softens without collapsing, creating a creamy interior while maintaining structure. Its dairy sweetness carries a subtle depth from the smoking process, making it a natural partner to cured meats.

Special Selection Speck IGP brings balance through its lightly smoked and air-dried character. The fat is delicate and silky, delivering savory richness with hints of alpine sweetness. It is less aggressive than prosciutto, more nuanced, with a quiet smokiness that echoes the scamorza without overpowering it.

The mix of heirloom cherry tomatoes introduces brightness and contrast. Their varying colors signal different levels of sweetness and acidity — some juicy and sweet, others sharper and tangier — cutting through the richness of cheese and speck.

Kalamata olives anchor the platter with briny intensity and firm texture. Their depth rounds out the sweeter elements and adds Mediterranean complexity.

Country classic sourdough bread ties everything together. Its crisp crust and tender crumb make it ideal for tearing, layering, and soaking up olive oil or melted cheese.

Together, these elements create balance: smoke, salt, brightness, and warmth.

A Love Letter in Smoke & Salt

Scamorza, traditionally hung and lightly smoked, carries the imprint of Southern Italian craftsmanship. Speck IGP, protected by geographic designation, reflects centuries of Alpine curing tradition. One is dairy warmth; the other is mountain air and patience.

Together, they create a dialogue between softness and depth.

Valentine’s does not always need grand gestures. Sometimes it is the act of warming cheese, slicing tomatoes, and sharing bread from the same board. This bundle leans into that intimacy — tactile, rustic, and quietly romantic.

Storage Instructions
