Smoke Flavored Provolone Slices
What it is
This is a semi-hard cheese made from cow's milk. It undergoes a smoking process, which imparts a distinct smoky aroma and flavor. The cheese is typically aged, developing a firm texture and a mild, slightly tangy taste with savory undertones from the smoke. These slices are convenient for quick use in various dishes.
