Provolone Cheese
What You Should Know
Find this provolone in the deli or specialty cheese aisle—easy to grab for sandwiches, charcuterie boards, or melting on a weeknight panini. It feels comforting and practical with a mellow, slightly tangy melt; the short ingredient list (cultured pasteurized milk, salt, microbial enzymes) and traditional processing (pasteurization, culture, coagulation/aging) point to a traditionally processed cheese rather than an ultra‑processed product.
