Provolone Piccante is made in the same way as regular provolone, from cow’s milk cheese, using a pulled curd method that’s similar to mozzarella. … The aged provolone cheese develops a great spiciness and sharpness, with that classic saltiness and full-bodied milky flavor. Provolone is great when melted. Think hoagies, casseroles, panini, pizza, and baked pasta dishes.
