During my trip to the Italian market in Ventimiglia, I bought the best of the Italian grilled cheese : stretchy, gooey, smoky, chewy and nutty.
If I had to choose only one food to bring on a desert Island that would be grilled cheese, and if I can add crusty bread and red wine I am in paradise.
I could eat it every day, breakfast, lunch and dinner and my favourites are scamorza and provola.
If you like melted mozzarella you will love scamorza and provola.
Their taste is different but they are both made with cow milk.
They have the same consistency but are less watery than a mozzarella, gooier and with a sweet nutty flavour.

WOW! I had no idea about these Italian grilled cheeses but that looks amazing!! I wonder if I could find those cheeses where I am. There is a large Italian community in Montreal so it’s possible! Your descriptions were totally mouth-watering!
Thank you, yes you should be able to find them in an Italian food shop. They are very common in Italy, therefore, a good Italian food shop will have them.
Wow – all that cheesy goodness is making me hungry!
I know, I had to have an early lunch as I was writing the post
