Frequently Asked Questions
How long is sharp Provolone aged?
Sharp Provolone (Piccante) is typically aged 4-12 months or longer, compared to 2-3 months for mild (Dolce) Provolone.
Why is sharp Provolone higher in sodium?
The extended aging process concentrates the salt content as moisture evaporates, resulting in higher sodium per 100g compared to younger cheeses.
