What it is

Provolone is a semi-hard Italian cheese made from cow's milk. It is a pasta filata cheese, meaning the curd is stretched and kneaded to give it a smooth, elastic texture. Provolone cheese is typically aged for at least two months, resulting in a sharp, nutty flavor.

Why it's used

Provolone is often used as a slicing cheese for sandwiches, especially with cold cuts like ham and salami. It also melts well, making it a popular topping for pizzas and baked dishes. Its robust flavor adds depth to a variety of savory foods.

Health notes

Provolone cheese is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. As a dairy product, it is a source of calcium and protein. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated cheese and dairy products. Typical consumption of cheese as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Provolone cheese is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
