The soft taste of Italy
The Provolone Dolce is a world famous cheese from Italy. This cheese belongs to the so-called 'pasta filata' family. This means that the curd is kneaded and stretched during preparation, just like mozzarella. Unlike the spicy Piccante variant, the Provolone Dolce has a much shorter ripening time of about 2 to 3 months. This results in a beautifully smooth, soft texture with a very mild, creamy and slightly sweet taste.
Thanks to its soft character, the Provolone Dolce is a true crowd-pleaser. It is delicious in cubes as a snack or on a varied cheese board. However, where this cheese really excels are its fantastic melting properties. Because it is a stretched curd cheese, it melts wonderfully stringy and evenly. This makes the cheese the ultimate choice for a warm panini, over a casserole, on an authentic pizza or through a creamy pasta sauce.
Freshly cut from the knife for an optimal taste experience
At GoudaCheeseShop.com we treat our premium cheeses with the greatest care. We only cut your piece of Provolone Dolce fresh from the large cheese the moment your order arrives. Almost immediately afterwards, we pack your cheese tightly and completely airtight in a vacuum. To perfectly protect the soft structure and delicate aromas during the journey, we always ship your order with a cooling pack as standard. This way you are guaranteed to enjoy fresh top quality.
Frequently Asked Questions about Provolone Dolce
What is the difference between Provolone Dolce and Piccante?
Dolce literally means 'sweet' or mild. This variant is younger and milder in flavor. The Piccante variant ripens much longer and is made with a different type of rennet, giving it a firmer texture and a sharp, spicy flavor.
Is this cheese suitable for vegetarians?
No, animal rennet is traditionally used in the preparation of authentic Provolone. As a result, the cheese is unfortunately not suitable for a strict vegetarian diet.
Does this cheese melt well?
Yes, certainly! Because Provolone is a stretched curd cheese (pasta filata), it has truly fantastic melting properties. It strings nicely and melts incredibly smoothly, making it indispensable in warm Italian dishes and on toasted sandwiches.
Do you also sell other Italian cheeses?
Absolutely! In addition to the Provolone Dolce, we have an extensive range of the tastiest cheeses from Italy. View our complete category Italian Cheese to discover all our Mediterranean delicacies.
