Provolone is a semi-hard Italian cheese with a pale yellow color and a mild, slightly tangy flavor. It is made from cow's milk and is commonly used in Italian cuisine, particularly in dishes such as sandwiches, pizzas, and pasta. Provolone cheese has a smooth and creamy texture that melts well, making it a popular choice for melting on top of grilled sandwiches or in hot dishes. It can also be sliced and enjoyed on its own or paired with cured meats and olives as part of a charcuterie board.
