To be frank, this is
real provolone. Provolone Piccante is a sharp, flavorful Italian cheese made from cow's milk. Aged for around 10 months, this cheese develops a spicy, robust flavor that is more intense than its milder counterpart, Provolone Dolce. Its aging process gives it a firm, dense texture with a slightly granular consistency, making it perfect for grating or slicing. Provolone Piccante is known for its savory, salty taste with nutty undertones, and it can be enjoyed in a variety of ways—from melting it on pizzas and sandwiches to incorporating it into casseroles and other dishes that benefit from its bold, complex flavors.
This cheese is part of the pasta filata family, meaning it’s made using a stretched-curd technique similar to mozzarella, but the longer aging process gives it its distinctive sharpness. It's commonly paired with red wines or enjoyed as a standalone snack. If you're looking for a cheese that packs a punch, this is an excellent choice
