What goes with Provolone?
Provolone is a pasta-filata cheese whose culinary behavior depends strongly on age. Younger cheese melts evenly over sandwiches and baked vegetables; mature provolone contributes a drier, sharper grate or slice. Tomato, cured meat and bitter vegetables meet its dairy richness without erasing its identity. Direct high heat can make the curd leathery before the interior has melted.
