Profile

Provolone is a Northern Italian cheese that can be thought of as mozzarella's older brother. Take some mozzarella, form it into the shape of a large roll and rub it down with brine, bind it with rope and hang it from the ceiling for a few months and voila!- You have just made provolone. There are two varieties of provolone. Dolce (meaning sweet) is the milder version and Piccante (meaning sharp) is its spicy, more aged counterpart. 

Auricchio Provolone Piccante is produced from only highly selected milk and with the unequalled 'Auricchio Spicy Rennet'. It is tested and tended over the long maturation period using the experience of more than a century of cheese making. It has a sharp spicy, salty flavour and is recognised as one of the most famous and appreciated of typical Italian cheese's.
