Charlie and I love shopping at our co-op, and picked this cheese up to try (now that Katie is in Italy, we're trying Italian). I think they must purchase it in bulk because a hunk was cut off and repackaged.
This was not my favorite cheese until we started eating it with apple slices for our after nap snack; but everyone enjoyed it well enough to eat it (though we still have a little dab left). We also tried some melted with cauliflower that we had frozen from our garden last year. That was pretty good- but Charlie just loves to eat his broccoli and cauliflower like a champ.
Provolone is an Italian cheese, with the most important production region in Northern Italy. This modern provolone cheese was made with cow's milk and is semi-hard. Dolce means sweet (Provolone Piccante is sharp after being aged a minimum of 4 months).

There are so many ways to enjoy cheese! This provolone looks lovely. It would be an interesting experiment to try it against some deli-case provolone, which is the only example of this type of cheese that I have ever eaten.
