Organic Unsmoked Provolone Cheese

Organic unsmoked provolone is a semi-firm, white Italian cheese made from pasteurized organic cow's milk. It is a fresh, unsmoked variety of provolone, meaning it has a milder, less smoky flavor than traditional smoked provolone. The cheese is aged for a shorter period, typically a few months, resulting in a smooth texture and a slightly sweet, milky taste.

Manufacturers use organic unsmoked provolone for its mild flavor and good melting properties. It is often found in Italian-style blends of shredded cheeses for pizzas and pasta dishes, as well as in sandwiches and on cheese boards. Its smooth texture and creamy taste complement a variety of savory foods.

Organic unsmoked provolone is a dairy product and a source of protein and calcium. Like other cheeses, it contains saturated fat and sodium. The FDA considers cheese to be generally recognized as safe (GRAS). High intake of saturated fat and sodium can be associated with health concerns, aligning with recommendations to moderate intake. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated cheese and dairy products within broader food categories.
