Provolone cheese originated in Southern Italy towards the end of the 19th century. Over the years, the cheese grew in popularity throughout the rest of Italy. Northern Italy now produces the majority of the Provolone cheese of today, with exceptions to the variants produced in North America and Japan. Provolone’s origins can be traced back to a different cheese called Provola and the name provolone literally means, large Provola. It is a semi-hard cheese aged at least 4 months. This particular variety, has a very sharp taste produced with liapse originating from goat instead of calves as is used in milder variations. It is crafted using cows’ milk.
