Provolone cheese, originating from Southern Italy, is a semi-hard cheese traditionally made from cow's milk. Its smooth texture and mild, slightly tangy flavor make it a versatile ingredient in Italian and Mediterranean cuisine, commonly used in sandwiches, salads, and baked dishes. Provolone slices are rich in protein and calcium, supporting muscle growth and bone health. However, they are often high in saturated fat and sodium, so moderation is key for those watching their cholesterol or blood pressure levels. Crafted through an aging process that can range from a few months to over a year, Provolone develops deeper flavors as it matures. Select smoked or sharp varieties for a bolder taste, and enjoy it as part of a balanced diet for both flavor and nutrition.
