After molding in tubular forms, provolone is
submitted to long salting and then dried and smoked in special
chambers. The next step is maturing.
In the last steps it is bound and hanged until purchased by the end
consumer.
It is a semi-hard, closed dough (no holes) cheese, in straw-yellow
color with a milky and smoky flavor which delights gourmets.
Indicated for the composition of dressings, snacks and sandwiches
and own its own for degustation. But it can also be grated in very
savory dishes au gratin.
This is the cheese used to make "provoleta", by roasting it on coals.
Longer aging periods are used for bigger provolone cheeses (20, 50
or 100 kg), resulting in a more creamy texture and slightly more
piquant and aromatic flavor.
Because of its pronounced flavor, it should be served with
full-bodied red wines (also called robust wines). In our tropical
climate we recommend degustation with beer.
