What it is

Smoke-flavored Provolone Cheese is a semi-hard Italian cheese that has been treated with smoke. It is made from cow's milk and aged for at least a few months. The smoking process gives the cheese a distinct smoky flavor and aroma.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add smoke flavoring to cheese to impart a smoky taste and aroma, enhancing the overall flavor profile. It is commonly found in processed cheese products, pizza, deli meats, and snacks.

Health notes

Smoke flavoring is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used according to good manufacturing practices. It is considered a flavoring agent. Regulatory bodies like the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have also evaluated smoke flavorings. While generally considered safe at typical consumption levels, some studies have raised questions about the long-term health effects of consuming certain compounds found in smoke, though evidence is mixed and ongoing.

Allergen info

Provolone cheese is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Not a gluten source.
