WHICH CHEESES ARE STRECHED CURD CHEESE?

When it comes to stretched curd cheese, there are a few notable varieties that stand out.

One of the most famous examples is mozzarella, known for its smooth texture and elastic nature. Made by stretching heated curds, mozzarella is a staple in comfort foods like pizza and caprese salads.

Another cheese that fits this category is provolone, originating in Southern Italy. This semi-hard cheese is beloved for its robust flavor and excellent melting characteristics, making it ideal for sandwiches and hot dishes.

Lastly, we have the Italian cheese known as scamorza, which shares similarities with both mozzarella and provolone. With its distinctive pear shape and versatile nature, scamorza is often enjoyed grilled or used as a filling for various dishes.

Overall, these stretched curd cheeses offer a delightful combination of elasticity and flavor, making them a favorite amongst cheese enthusiasts everywhere.
