ORGANIC PROVOLONE is one of the most sought after cheeses in Italy alongside Parmigiano-Reggiano. Azienda Querceta is a farmstead operation which produces all their provolone from raw milk sourced from a herd of 250 Pezzata Rosa & Frisone cattle. After the cheese is made the provolone is hung, using rope, in their natural cheese cave for a minimum of 6 months. The provolone texture at 6 months is creamy. The flavor is sweet and nutty.
