Provolone: small guide to quality
Provolone is straw yellow in colour, becoming slightly darker in the case of smoked cheese (which has a light brown external part). The rind is smooth, thin, bright and golden coloured. The cheese is compact, with possible slight and rare holes, above all in the spicy variety. Served at the table, provolone is optimum, but it is also precious when preparing many hot dishes, thanks to its ability to stretch and melt, amalgamating itself perfectly.
Sweet provolone has a delicate flavour, and the scents and aromas of milk and butter. The cheese is soft owing to its short maturation time.
Spicy provolone takes on very marked scents and aromas; a spicy flavoured cheese. The cheese texture is typical of very mature plastic curd cheeses which tend to present typical "layering".
Smoked provolone has a markedly very intense and particular flavour. Smoking gives the cheese extra flavour, without however covering the original taste of provolone.
