Provolone Cheese
What You Should Know
You'd spot this in the dairy aisle or at the deli counter, grabbed for sandwiches, grilled cheese, or a simple charcuterie board. It feels comforting and familiar — a versatile, quietly indulgent staple. The short ingredient list (pasteurized cultured milk, salt, microbial enzymes) and traditional cheesemaking steps give it texture and flavor from fermentation and aging rather than industrial additives, indicating it is processed but not ultra-processed.
