scamorza with pork collar Explanation: Scamorza Description: Traditional, creamery, stretched, curd cheese made from cow's milk. It is smooth and shiny, traditionally made in a money-bag shape. This cheese resembles Provolne. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-10-19 14:05:15 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It is rubbery, with a stringy texture and is drier than mozzarella. Sold young, within two or three days of making, it has a bland, milky taste. The smoked version, Scamorza Affumicate is more popular than the plain and is often used in pasta dishes. It is also served with ham, mushrooms or vegetables. The name of this cheese has somewhat macabre overtones: scamozza is an expression in southern Italy which means \"beheaded\", it is meant here to describe the cheese\'s appearance (tied in a rope bag). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-10-19 14:05:40 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.cheese.com/Description.asp?Name=scamorza |

scamorza cheese with coppa ham Explanation: I'd use the Italian term and specify after that, particularly since this is a restaurant menu. In any event, this seems to be the practice, as you can see from the reference below. BTW, I've heard "coppa" referred to as "capicolla" on the East Coast of the US (a variation of "capocollo", as it's called in central Italy), but this may be too regional for your purposes. Coppa Ham by Beretta Coppa is a famous Italian sandwich meat, characterized by its tenderness and very special flavor. Beretta's Coppa is made from first choice pork shoulder, then salted, flavored and dry-cured for at least six months under the strict control of the Beretta quality gurus. Coppa is frequently used as an ingredient in omelettes and is a great addition to the antipasto plate as well. Available hot or sweet. For the part on scamorza: scamorze cheese; scamorza; scamorzo [ska-MOHRT-zuh; ska-MOHRT-zoh] Though today this Italian cheese is usually made from whole cow's milk (sometimes mixed with sheep's or goat's milk), scamorze was originally made only from buffalo milk.
