What it is
Smoked provolone is a semi-hard, Italian-style cheese made from cow's milk. It is produced similarly to regular provolone, but it undergoes a smoking process, typically using wood chips, which imparts a distinct smoky flavor and aroma. The cheese is aged for a period, developing its characteristic firm texture and sharp taste.
Why it's used
Smoked provolone is used to add a rich, smoky flavor to a variety of dishes. It melts well, making it a popular choice for sandwiches, pizzas, and grilled cheese. It can also be grated over pasta, used in casseroles, or served on cheese boards.
Health notes
Smoked provolone is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. It is a source of protein and calcium. Like other dairy products, it contains saturated fat and sodium. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated cheese and dairy products, but specific evaluations for smoked provolone are not commonly cited.
Allergen info
Smoked provolone is derived from milk, which is one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
