Experience the authentic taste of Northern Italy with BelGioioso Provolone imported from Auricchio, a renowned Italian cheesemaker that has been crafting exceptional provolone since 1877 in the Lombardy region.
This traditional Italian provolone offers a smooth, pale yellow interior with a distinctive semi-hard texture that becomes increasingly complex with age. The cheese delivers a mild, buttery flavor when young that develops into a sharper, more pronounced taste with nutty undertones as it matures. Made from cow's milk using time-honored Italian methods, this imported provolone maintains the authentic character that has made it a staple in Italian cuisine for generations. The natural rind and characteristic pear shape reflect the traditional pasta filata stretching process used in its creation.
BelGioioso Provolone Auricchio excels in both cooking and serving applications. Slice it thin for classic Italian sandwiches, paninis, or antipasto platters alongside cured meats, olives, and crusty bread. Its excellent melting properties make it ideal for baked dishes like chicken parmigiana, lasagna, or pizza, where it adds rich flavor without overwhelming other ingredients. For entertaining, pair this provolone with Italian wines such as Chianti or Pinot Grigio, fresh pears, walnuts, and honey for an elegant cheese board. The cheese also works beautifully grated over pasta dishes or incorporated into risottos and frittatas, bringing authentic Italian flavor to your home cooking.
