What it is

Organic Provolone is a semi-hard cheese that originated in Italy. It is typically made from organic cow's milk, which means the milk comes from cows raised according to organic farming standards. The cheese is aged for a period, developing a mild to sharp flavor depending on its age.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add organic provolone to foods primarily for its distinctive flavor and texture. It is often used in pizzas, sandwiches, and pasta dishes, where its melting properties and savory taste are desired. Its organic certification appeals to consumers seeking products made with organic ingredients.

Health notes

As a food ingredient, organic provolone is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when consumed as part of a typical diet. It is a source of protein and calcium, but also contains saturated fat. The USDA regulates the 'organic' label, ensuring that the milk used meets specific organic production standards. There are no notable controversies specific to organic provolone itself regarding its safety at typical intake levels.

Allergen info

Provolone is made from milk, which is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. Individuals with a milk allergy or lactose intolerance should avoid it.
