Provolone is a semi-hard Italian cheese with a smooth, creamy texture and a mild, slightly tangy flavour. Traditionally made from cow's milk, which doesn't make it vegan, not to worry though, there are a number of vegan provolone cheeses that are made from plant ingredients, which means no animal is harmed in the creation of these cheeses.

It originates from southern Italy and is known for its versatility, provolone can be enjoyed in slices, melted into dishes, or as part of a cheese platter.

Some but not all provolone cheeses are often aged, which enhances its sharpness and flavour complexity. While classic provolone is dairy-based, plant-based alternatives are now available for those seeking vegan options.
