What Makes Provolone Cheese Special
Provolone is one of Italy’s most recognizable cheeses, valued for both its versatility and its ability to develop depth
and character over time. Traditionally crafted and aged in distinctive shapes, provolone ranges from young and
approachable to firm, sharp, and intensely savory, offering a wide spectrum of flavor and texture.
At iGourmet, our Provolone Cheese collection goes well beyond everyday versions of this classic cheese. We focus on
artisan and traditionally produced provolone, carefully selected for quality, balance, and authenticity. Each cheese is
evaluated by our team to ensure it reflects the craftsmanship and flavor development that define great provolone,
resulting in a thoughtfully curated selection.
Enjoying and Pairing Provolone Cheese
Provolone’s balance of richness and structure makes it easy to enjoy in a variety of ways. Younger provolone pairs
beautifully with artisan crackers and crusty breads, while more aged
styles shine alongside honey, fig spreads, or fruit preserves, which
help balance their savory intensity.
Provolone also pairs naturally with Italian-style charcuterie such as salami and
prosciutto. When selecting beverages, milder provolone complements crisp white wines, while aged provolone pairs well
with bold red wines or sparkling wines that cut through its richness from our
wine collection.
Cooking, Entertaining, and Gifting
Thanks to its smooth melting qualities, provolone is ideal for sandwiches, panini, baked dishes, and grilled
preparations. Aged provolone can also be shaved or grated to add savory depth to vegetables, pasta, and salads. This
versatility makes provolone equally suited for everyday meals and special occasions.
Provolone is also an excellent choice for entertaining and gifting, especially when included in curated selections from
our cheese gift boxes. Its familiar name paired with artisan quality makes it
an approachable yet elevated option.
