What it is

Provolone is a semi-hard Italian cheese made from cow's milk. It is a stretched-curd cheese, meaning the curd is heated and stretched before being shaped. Provolone can be aged for varying lengths of time, resulting in mild or sharp flavors.

Why it's used

Provolone is often used as a topping for pizzas and sandwiches due to its good melting properties and savory flavor. It is also enjoyed on its own or as part of a cheese platter. Manufacturers use it to add a distinct, slightly piquant taste to a variety of foods.
