Traditioneel agrovoedingsproduct, nationale lijst van het Italiaanse ministerie van Landbouw
Provola is an Italian semi-hard stretched curd cheese made from raw cow's milk and produced with a cooked or semi-cooked stretched curd.
Although its origins lie in the Italian region of Campania, its production is now widespread across all regions of southern Italy, with different variants that depend on the cattle breed, the aging process, and specific local factors such as microclimates and cheesemaking traditions.
Despite the shared origin of the name and the production technique, provola differs from provolone (lit. "large provola", a variety better known in the United States) in its size, production methods, and its much more delicate flavor.
