Roundy's Extra Thin Provolone Sliced Smoked Cheese
What it is
This is a package of thinly sliced provolone cheese that has been smoked. The smoking process imparts a distinct flavor and aroma to the cheese. Provolone is a semi-hard Italian cheese made from cow's milk. It is known for its mild, slightly tangy taste when young, which becomes sharper and more pronounced as it ages. The thin slicing makes it easy to use in various dishes without needing to cut it yourself.
How people cook with it
These cheese slices are convenient for quick meal preparation and snacking. They melt well, making them suitable for hot dishes.
- Sandwich topping
- Melted on burgers
- Added to quesadillas
- Snack accompaniment
Open the package and separate the thin slices of smoked provolone. You can place them directly onto sandwiches or burgers before cooking. For melted cheese, add the slices to hot foods like pizzas, pasta bakes, or grilled sandwiches during the last few minutes of cooking. The cheese will soften and become gooey. It can also be enjoyed cold as a snack or part of a cheese board. The thinness allows for quick melting and even distribution of flavor.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to thicker cut provolone, these extra thin slices melt more rapidly and evenly. The smoking process also gives it a different flavor profile than unsmoked provolone, adding a savory, slightly woodsy note that is not present in regular varieties.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a flavorful and convenient cheese option for everyday meals.
How to keep the rest
After opening, reseal the package tightly to prevent the cheese from drying out. Store in the refrigerator. It is best to consume the remaining cheese within a few days for optimal freshness and flavor. Ensure the package is kept cold to maintain its quality.
