What it is

Provolone cheese is a semi-hard cheese that originated in Italy. It is made from pasteurized cow's milk using a "pasta filata" or stretched-curd method, which gives it a smooth texture.

Why it's used

Provolone cheese is valued for its mild to sharp flavor and its ability to melt well. It is commonly used in pizzas, sandwiches, deli platters, and baked dishes to add a savory taste and creamy texture.

Health notes

Provolone cheese is regulated by the FDA as a food product. As a dairy product, it is a source of protein and calcium. However, it can also contain saturated fat and sodium. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans suggest limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. The FDA's Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg per day. JECFA and EFSA typically evaluate food additives, not whole food ingredients like cheese.

Allergen info

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