What it is
Mild Provolone cheese is a semi-hard Italian cheese made from cow's milk. It belongs to the 'pasta filata' or stretched-curd family, meaning the curd is heated and stretched to achieve its characteristic texture. Unlike sharp provolone, mild provolone is aged for a shorter period, resulting in a softer texture and a delicate, buttery flavor.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add mild provolone cheese to products primarily for its flavor, texture, and nutritional value. It is commonly found in pre-packaged sandwiches, deli meat and cheese snack packs, and salad blends. Its mild taste makes it a versatile ingredient for many dishes.

There are no specific regulatory concerns or controversies regarding mild provolone cheese as a food ingredient at typical intake levels.
