Provolone is a semi-hard cheese originating from the Po Valley region of Italy, crafted from cow's milk. Its rich history dates back to the 18th century, where it was traditionally produced by local farmers. Known for its distinctive pear shape and varying flavors, Provolone comes in two main varieties: Provolone Dolce, aged for a shorter time, and Provolone Piccante, which boasts a sharper taste due to longer aging. This cheese is a staple in Italian cuisine, often enjoyed on its own or as part of a charcuterie board.
