Aged provolone is wonderful on an antipasti tray with preserved peppers, fresh tomatoes, meats, olives, and other savory accompaniments. Semisoft provolone is used on Italian-style sandwiches (the forerunners of the hoagie or submarine). It grills and melts well, and is often combined with mozzarella as a pizza topping.
Italian-style aged provolone is a hard, sharp-flavored cheese used for grating. American-style semisoft Provolone is most often enjoyed in sandwiches.
American-style provolone is produced in the cheese factories of Wisconsin, and is typically sold in delis and supermarkets in a 9- to 12-pound (4 to 5.4 kg) tube intended for slicing. It resembles American-style mozzarella, and can be used on pizza and in lasagna and other casserole dishes.
