What it is

Provolone is a semi-hard Italian cheese made from cow's milk. It is produced in two main varieties: mild (dolce) and sharp (piccante). The cheese is aged for at least two months, and the piccante variety is aged for a longer period, giving it a sharper flavor.

Why it's used

Provolone cheese is often used as a table cheese or for cooking. Its melting properties make it a popular choice for sandwiches, pizzas, and baked dishes. It adds a distinct, slightly piquant flavor to a variety of savory foods.

Health notes

Provolone cheese is a natural food product and is generally recognized as safe by the FDA. It is a source of protein and calcium. Like all dairy products, it contains saturated fat and sodium. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated cheese and dairy products in general, but do not set specific limits for provolone itself.

Allergen info

Provolone cheese is derived from cow's milk, which is one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
