What it is

Reduced fat provolone cheese is a semi-hard, Italian-style cheese made from cow's milk, similar to mozzarella but with a sharper, smokier flavor. To make it, milk is pasteurized and then rennet is added to coagulate it. The curds are cut, heated, and then stretched and molded into shape before being aged.

Why it's used

Reduced fat provolone is used to lower the fat content of foods while still providing a cheesy flavor and meltability. It is often found in frozen appetizers, pizzas, sandwiches, and other prepared meals where a mild, slightly smoky cheese flavor is desired.

Health notes

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

Allergen info

Reduced fat provolone is derived from milk, which is one of the FDA's major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
