Etymology

The word 'provolone' comes from the Italian language, specifically derived from the term 'provola', which means 'likely to spoil'. The cheese itself has roots that trace back to Southern Italy in the 19th century, where it was first produced by farmers seeking to preserve their excess milk. Provolone is a descendant of the traditional mozzarella cheese-making techniques, evolving over time into the semi-hard cheese we know today. The different varieties of provolone, such as Provolone Valdepenna and Provolone Piccante, not only differ in taste but also reflect the regional differences in production methods. Provolone has gained popularity beyond Italy and is now enjoyed worldwide across various culinary dishes.
