What it is
Organic Provolone cheese is a semi-hard Italian cheese that originated in southern Italy. It is made from cow's milk that has been produced according to organic farming standards, meaning the cows are raised without synthetic hormones or antibiotics, and their feed is organic. The cheese is typically aged for a few months to develop its flavor and texture.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add Provolone cheese to products for its distinctive flavor, creamy texture, and good melting properties. It is a popular ingredient in pizzas, sandwiches, baked pasta dishes, and various prepared meals where a mild, savory cheese is desired.
Health notes
Provolone cheese is regulated by the FDA as a food product. As a dairy product, it is a source of protein and calcium. However, it can also be high in saturated fat and sodium; the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting saturated fat to less than 10% of daily calories, and the FDA Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg. JECFA and EFSA do not typically evaluate whole food products like cheese.
Allergen info
Provolone cheese is made from milk, which is one of the nine major FDA allergens.
