About Provola
Provola is a traditional Italian semi-hard cheese, often made from cow’s milk but occasionally blended with buffalo or goat’s milk. Originating from regions like Campania and Sicily, this versatile cheese is renowned for its mild, slightly tangy flavor and smooth texture. Provola is typically aged for a few weeks and sometimes smoked, lending it a distinctive, rich taste. Nutritionally, it is a good source of protein and calcium, which support muscle health and bone strength. However, like many cheeses, it is relatively high in saturated fat and sodium, making it best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Provola is a popular ingredient in Italian cuisine, used in dishes such as pasta bakes, pizzas, and grilled recipes, where its creamy meltability shines. When selecting Provola, opt for high-quality, minimally processed varieties to maximize nutritional benefits while savoring its authentic Italian essence.
