Traditional Provolone Cheese

Traditional Provolone Cheese

Everyday

Traditional Provolone is an Italian semi-hard cheese made using the pasta filata method, where heated curds are kneaded and stretched to create its characteristic smooth, elastic texture. Aged from two months (Dolce variety) to over a year (Piccante), its flavor evolves from mild and buttery to sharp and smoky, with many versions undergoing a smoking process for added complexity. This protein-rich cheese provides significant calcium content and melts effectively, making it ideal for sandwiches, baked dishes, and antipasto platters while offering firmer consistency than fresh mozzarella.
