What it is

Provolone cheese is an Italian cheese made from cow's milk. It is a semi-hard, stretched-curd cheese, meaning the curds are heated and kneaded to achieve its characteristic texture. The 'not smoked' variety means it has not undergone a smoking process, resulting in a milder flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add provolone cheese for its distinct flavor, creamy texture when melted, and its ability to brown well. It is a popular ingredient in pizzas, sandwiches, and other baked dishes where a mild, meltable cheese is desired.

Health notes

Provolone cheese is a food product regulated by the FDA. As a dairy product, it is a source of protein and calcium. Like many cheeses, it can be high in saturated fat and sodium, which the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) suggest limiting. JECFA and EFSA do not typically evaluate whole food products like provolone cheese as food additives.

Allergen info

Provolone cheese is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
