About Provolone cheese

Provolone cheese, originally from Southern Italy, is a semi-hard cheese made from cow's milk. This versatile dairy product comes in two main varieties: Provolone Piccante, which is aged and offers a sharp, tangy flavor, and Provolone Dolce, which is milder and slightly sweet. Rich in protein and calcium, Provolone supports bone health and muscle repair, making it a nutritious addition to meals when consumed in moderation. However, it is also high in saturated fats and sodium, which can contribute to health concerns like heart disease if overeaten. Provolone’s creamy texture and distinctive taste make it a staple in Italian cuisine, frequently featured in sandwiches, pasta dishes, and antipasto platters. For healthier choices, pair it with fresh vegetables or lean proteins to balance its indulgent qualities with nutrient-dense foods.
