provolones
Aged Italian cheeses
Provolones is the plural of provolone, an Italian cheese made from cow's milk with a smooth, pale yellow interior and a firm texture that ranges from mild when young to sharp and piquant when aged.
The cheese is traditionally shaped into large pear or sausage forms and hung to cure.
The deli counter displayed several aged provolones alongside the fresh mozzarella.
It appears frequently on Italian sandwiches and antipasto platters.
