Sargento Sliced Provolone-Mozzarella Natural Cheese
What it is
This is a blend of two popular Italian cheeses, provolone and mozzarella, pre-sliced for convenience. It combines the slightly sharper, more robust flavor of provolone with the mild, creamy, and wonderfully melty qualities of mozzarella. The cheese is made from pasteurized milk and is a good source of calcium. It comes in convenient slices, making it easy to use in a variety of dishes without any cutting required.
How people cook with it
This cheese blend is a versatile ingredient that works well in both hot and cold applications.
- Sandwich topping
- Pizza ingredient
- Melted cheese dishes
- Appetizer component
These slices are perfect for layering onto sandwiches, whether they are grilled or served cold. They melt beautifully over pizzas, adding a delightful stretch and savory flavor. You can also use them to top baked pasta dishes, casseroles, or even stuffed mushrooms. For a quick appetizer, place a slice on a cracker and bake until bubbly. The pre-portioned slices ensure even coverage and consistent melting.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to using provolone or mozzarella alone, this blend offers a more complex flavor profile. It balances the tanginess of provolone with the mildness of mozzarella, creating a harmonious taste that complements many ingredients without overpowering them.

How to keep the rest
