Provolone
Provolone is a semi-hard cheese originating from southern Italy. It is made from cow’s milk and is known for its slightly spicy flavor and smooth, elastic texture.
Provolone cheese comes in various shapes and sizes, ranging from small cylindrical pieces to large wheels that can weigh up to 100 kg. There are two main types: Dolce, meaning “mild,” and Piccante, meaning “spicy.” Provolone Dolce is younger and milder, while Provolone Piccante is aged longer and offers a more pronounced flavor.
Provolone is widely used in Italian cuisine and is perfect for pizzas, sandwiches, and pasta. It also melts very well, making it ideal for lasagna or grilled sandwiches.
