Provolone
Deli sandwich cheese
Provolone is an Italian cheese, pale yellow and semi-hard, with a smooth texture and mild to sharp flavor depending on age.
Young provolone is soft and milky; aged versions develop a firmer texture and tangier bite.
It melts well, making it popular for sandwiches, pizza, and baked dishes: a Philly cheesesteak with provolone.
