Traditional provolone is often not vegetarian because it is typically made using animal rennet (an enzyme from the stomach of calves). Check the label for 'microbial rennet' if you require a vegetarian version.
When properly stored, an opened block of provolone cheese will last for 2 to 3 weeks. Sliced provolone usually lasts about 1 to 2 weeks.
Yes, you can freeze it for up to 6 months. However, the texture may become crumbly once thawed, so frozen provolone is best used for melting in cooked dishes.
Mozzarella is the best substitute for melting. For flavor, mild white cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Scamorza are excellent alternatives.
Dolce is aged for a short period (2-3 months) and has a mild, sweet taste. Piccante is aged longer (4 months to a year) and has a sharper, more pungent flavor.
Look for signs of mold that isn't part of the cheese's natural state, a slimy texture, or a sour, ammonia-like smell. If it is hard and darkened at the edges, it may just be dried out, but off-odors indicate spoilage.
Provolone is very low in lactose because most of the lactose is removed during the cheesemaking and aging process, but it is not strictly lactose-free.
It pairs excellently with cured meats (salami, prosciutto), olives, roasted red peppers, grapes, and crusty Italian bread.
