Shape and Taste
Provolone is formed in the shape of a medium sized pumpkin or watermelon. Most provolones are aged for at least four months, though sharper cheeses are aged less than sweeter and mild varieties. -
Uses in Cooking
Provolone typically melts easier than other sharp cheeses like cheddar. For this reason, it is the most popular form of cheese on cheesesteaks or other hot sandwiches.In South America, Provolone is typically sliced thick, sprinkled with seasonings and grilled. This is called "Provoleta," and must be done with care to avoid the cheese sticking to the grilling surface. Chefs recommend letting the cheese sit at room temperature for at least one hour.
