About Cheese, provolone

Provolone is an Italian semi-hard cheese made from cow's milk, with a smooth, pliable texture and a flavor that ranges from mild and milky when young to sharp and piquant when aged. It melts cleanly, which is why it turns up on sandwiches, subs and pizzas so often.

Nutritionally it is typical of firm cheeses — about 352 calories per 100 grams — and a good source of protein and calcium, plus vitamin B12 and phosphorus. As with its peers, the saturated fat and sodium run high, so it is best enjoyed in measured amounts.

Whether draped over a hot sandwich, melted on a pizza or sliced onto an antipasto board, provolone is a versatile, satisfying cheese. A modest portion brings useful calcium and protein along with its smooth, savory flavor.
