If you want to be instantly transported to an Italian market, Igor’s Provolone Valpadana Dolce will do the trick. This mini torpedo of mellow, milky young provolone crafted in Northern Italy is easy eating at its best. Salty and a little tangy, without the punch of provolone piccante, we love it equally for melting atop baked pastas and cubing for antipasti. It also makes a great gift for lovers of Italian cuisine. Just add Mt. Vikos Artichoke Spread and Frantoia Olive Oil.
“The form factor on this authentic Italian provolone is so fun—a torpedo of cheese with a rope to hang it! I’d leave it hanging in my kitchen for some Old World charm, if it wasn’t so dang snackable.”
Pasteurized Cow'S Milk, Salt, Animal Rennet.
- Provolone Valpadana is a DOP cheese, meaning it has a protected designation of origin. It’s produced in a specific geographical area in Northern Italy using traditional methods and ingredients.
- Like mozzarella, provolone is a pasta filata-style cheese, meaning its curds are submerged in hot water then pulled and stretched early on in the production process.
- After this step, however, provolone is dipped in brine, roped, then hung to age.
- This is a provolone dolce, which is much milder and creamier than provolone piccante, which has those piquant, tongue-prickling notes.
- It’s sold as a whole mini log, so it makes an eyecatching gift for the Italian cook or host with the most in your life.
