Provolone

Definition:

This semi-hard stretched curd cheese is made from cow’s milk and comes from Lombardy, Italy. Made in various shapes and sizes, the most common are cylindrical or pear shapes. They are bound with rope and have a bright yellow, waxy rind. Younger cheeses are smaller, sweeter, and mild flavoured, whereas larger cheeses are matured for at least two years and have a strong flavour.
