What it is

Picante Provolone is a type of Italian cheese, similar to regular provolone but often with a sharper, spicier flavor. It is made from cow's milk and aged for a longer period, which contributes to its firmer texture and more intense taste. The 'picante' refers to its spicier profile compared to milder provolone varieties.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use Picante Provolone for its robust flavor and firm texture, which holds up well when heated. It's commonly found in deli sandwiches, subs, wraps, and pizzas, adding a zesty kick. It also appears in charcuterie boards and as a topping for various Italian-American dishes.

Health notes

Provolone cheese, including the picante variety, is a source of protein and calcium. Like other dairy products, it contains saturated fat and sodium. The FDA considers cheese to be a safe food product. International bodies like EFSA have evaluated cheese and dairy products as part of broader assessments of food safety and nutrition.

Allergen info

Provolone cheese is derived from cow's milk, making it a major allergen for individuals with a milk allergy. It does not contain gluten.
