What it is

Spicy provolone is a semi-hard, Italian-style cheese made from cow's milk. It is typically aged for a shorter period than regular provolone, giving it a milder flavor. The 'spicy' characteristic often comes from the addition of chili peppers or other spices during the cheesemaking process.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use spicy provolone to add a sharp, piquant flavor to a variety of dishes. Its melting properties make it suitable for pizzas, sandwiches, and baked pasta dishes. It is also found in snack packs and frozen entrees.

Health notes

Spicy provolone is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. Like other cheeses, it is a source of protein and calcium. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many cheese products, but specific evaluations for 'spicy provolone' are not typically detailed. Consuming large amounts of any cheese can contribute to high sodium and saturated fat intake.

Allergen info

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