Stella Provolone

Stella Provolone brings authentic Italian flavor to your kitchen with its distinctive smooth texture and mildly sharp taste that has made it a beloved cheese across generations. This traditional Italian cheese features a pale yellow interior encased in a natural rind, offering a semi-hard texture that's perfect for both slicing and melting. Provolone originated in Southern Italy and belongs to the pasta filata family of cheeses, which are stretched and kneaded during production to create their characteristic smooth, dense texture. The aging process develops its signature tangy flavor that ranges from mild and buttery when young to more pronounced and sharp with extended aging. Stella, a trusted name in Italian-style cheeses, maintains traditional cheesemaking methods to deliver consistent quality and authentic taste. Provolone's versatility makes it an essential ingredient for countless culinary applications. Slice it thin for antipasto platters, sandwiches, or paninis where it melts beautifully without becoming greasy. It's excellent for cooking, particularly in Italian dishes like chicken parmigiana, baked ziti, or stuffed peppers. The cheese pairs wonderfully with cured meats like salami and prosciutto, and complements both red and white wines. For best results when cooking, add provolone toward the end of cooking time to prevent overcooking, which can make it tough. Store wrapped in the refrigerator and bring to room temperature before serving to fully appreciate its nuanced flavor and creamy texture.
