For a stunning anti-pasto platter centerpiece, this large two-pound cut of Provolone Piccante is more than enough to go around!

Provolone is a northern Italian cheese that can be thought of as Mozzarella's older brother. Take some Mozzarella, form it into your favorite shape, and rub it down with brine, bind it with rope and hang it from the ceiling for a few months and Voila! - you have just made Provolone. There are two varieties of Provolone. Dolce (meaning sweet) is the mild version and Piccante (meaning sharp) is its spicy, more aged counterpart. We love this Piccante version, which is rarely available in the U.S .and much more interesting than the mild Provolone most Americans have come to know. One of the great sandwich cheeses, Provolone Piccante is also an excellent melting cheese that is perfect in omelettes or atop a toasted baguette.
  • Made from pasteurized cow''s milk; aged over nine months.
  • Photo depicts whole 66 lb. form of cheese.
  • We cut and wrap this item by the pound.

Delicious for snacking

Wonderful, full-flavored cheese that tastes great with crackers and a glass of wine. Good enough to serve to company.

Provolone Piccante
By ramaiet

I'm an Italian-American originally from NYC always looking for an authentic taste of home. This provolone came to the door pretty quickly and was packed so that it was both protected and cold. As for the flavor, it was pretty good but tasted somewhat "processed." If it wasn't for that slighly off flavor this would have exceeded my expectations.
Flavorful great cheese

We love this cheese. It's great sliced on sandwiches but we most often use it for raclette. It melts wonderfully and imparts an even better flavor when melted. Great on potatoes!
Strong cheese

If your looking for a mild Provolone this is NOT the one to buy. Hearty, sharp flavor.

provolone piquante
By elizabeth forte
from Cherry Hill, NJ
on Apr 01, 2011
This item was not as sharp as I would prefer. I have bought much sharper and tastier provolone when cut from a wheel at a cheese store or market. This was too close to the taste of commercially wrapped and sold provolone in supermarkets.
Delicious flavor

Had I known how delicious this provolone would be, I'd have order a larger amount. I have a hard time leaving it alone. The flavor is full and hardy.
Excellent!

Sharpest provolone I've tried. Perfect any number of ways.
Not up to par
