Great stuff

So I don't know how authentic it is because I haven't been to the cheeses home country before, but based on what I have read this seems to be the real deal. Depending entirely on the position it is for aging. When it is young it is close to a mozzarella in texture and when fully matured it is semi hard with a stringy salty flavor, but is unique. Lastly when it is extra matured it becomes spicy and a stronger savory flavor. As such this one is the fully matured variety, but it is very good id like to try the other ages.

Actually this delicious cheese is what the Argentines call provoleto. No one seems to care about history. I would bet the farm that a hundred years or so ago a couple of homesick Sicilians created the first provolone trying to duplicate the Cacciocavallo cheese of their homeland. In Ada Boni's famous book of regional Italian recipes in the section on Sicily they have the exact recipe. In Argentina it comes originally from the Sicilian neighborhood in Buenos Aires. They even call the sauce for it chimichiuri which is in Sicilian dialect (Cimi Sciurri) basically means "Dressing" HAHA Soresina makes the very best one!

This didn't taste anything like the Caciocavallo cheese I've grown up with. It was made by individuals who sold it to a small grocery store in a small town in Eastern Oklahoma. It is also known as kuskavahl (sp?). When I was in the former Yugoslavia in 1982, I saw something called kuskavahl on a menu at a truck stop. I ordered it even though I had no idea what I had actually ordered. The bus I was on was getting ready to leave when they gave me what I had ordered. I grabbed it and ran to my bus. When I got on the bus I was relieved to see that it was at least cheese! When I tasted it, it turned out to be the cheese I was wanting! But this cheese that I ordered through Amazon didn't taste anything like it so I really didn't like it. But my dog likes it.

If this is provolone, it is the best provolone I've had. If not is is just great. It has a stronger funk and taste than typical provolone. I love it.

A little sharper taste than how my husband remembered it as his grandparents made it but delicious anyway. Will buy again!
