Provolone Cheese

Provolone Cheese

While similar to Mozzarella, producers use more and different types of cultures to make Provolone, resulting in fuller flavors and better aging.

In earlier times, Italian cheesemakers heated curing rooms with wood fires to impart a slightly smoky flavor to the cheese.

Provolone can vary from slightly piquant and soft when young to sharp, firm and granular when aged.

HEALING TIP: Because cheese is essentially milk that is condensed it is important to choose provolone cheese made from organic milk, free from hormones.
