Provolone is a semi-hard Italian cheese known for its smooth texture and mild, buttery flavor. Originating in Southern Italy, it is traditionally made from cow’s milk and comes in two main types: Provolone Dolce, which is milder and aged for a few months, and Provolone Piccante, which is sharper, aged for over four months, and often uses additional enzymes for flavor complexity. Nutritionally, Provolone is a rich source of protein and calcium, which support bone health and muscle function. It also contains essential vitamins like B12 and provides dietary fats, including saturated fat. While it is high in flavor, its downside is its sodium and cholesterol content, which should be consumed in moderation, especially for individuals managing heart health or high blood pressure. Provolone is a versatile ingredient, often used in sandwiches, salads, and melted onto dishes for added richness and depth to Mediterranean-inspired meals.
