Sicilian Provolone is a cheese made from cow’s milk, with stringy texture and straw-colored. It acquires its round shape while hand working the curd. It is tied-off at the neck, raffia string or twine, and can have different sizes.

How to Serve:
Provolone is a table cheese that can be paired with rustic appetizers. It can also be used as filling for stuffed tomatoes and eggplant rolls.

Provola from Alcantara Formaggi (Azienda Casearia Camuglia) in Castiglione di Sicilia, in the Alcantara valley at the foot of Mount Etna. A pasta filata cheese of cow's milk from eastern Sicily, coagulated with lamb rennet: the curd ripens at least 24 hours, then is stretched and shaped entirely by hand with red chili pepper worked into the paste, and tied at the neck with raffia.

Ingredients: Cow's milk, lamb rennet, salt, chili pepper (2–3%).

Contains: milk.

Fromage!

We ordered three cheeses. The shipping seemed a little slow. Not because of the time it took to get here but because the company seemed a little slow. However! However! The cheese was worth waiting for. It was beautifully wrapped and absolutely wonderful. Thanks!

Fun to share!

The Sicilian provolone was bought for Christmas gifts for others, so I didn’t taste it. My husband’s parents frequently had an aged provolone hanging and awaiting use, and it was always so delicious, that I wanted to share that experience. Next time I’ll have to order one for my husband and myself!
