Product Description
Provolone is a northern Italian cheese that can be thought of as Mozzarellas older brother. Take some Mozzarella, form it into your favorite shape and rub it down with brine, bind it with rope and hang it from the ceiling for a few months and Voila! - you have just made Provolone. There are two varieties of Provolone. Dolce (meaning sweet) is the mild version and Piccante (meaning sharp) is its spicy, more aged counterpart. We sell the Piccante version, which is less available and more interesting than the mild Provolone most Americans have come to know. One of the great sandwich cheeses, Provolone Piccante is also an excellent melting cheese that is perfect in omelettes or atop a toasted baguette. Made from raw cow's milk, aged over 9 months.

This provolone is not as piccante as advertised. Provolone piccante ought to burn a hole in your tongue. Comparable to standard fare found in Rome.
