Provoleta
Provoleta is the Argentinian version of the famous Italian Provolone cheese which is believed to be an invention of Italian immigrants who wanted to blend two national cuisines. It falls into the category of pasta filata, or stretched cheeses, and is usually made with fresh cow.
Provoleta is usually shaped into long cylinders and left to mature for at least three months. Mild in flavor and usually-semi hard and springy in texture, it has a distinctive yellow color and is specially designed for grilling. The favorite way to enjoy the cheese in Argentina is to cut it into thick slices, grill, season, and serve as a satisfying appetizer followed by the famous Argentinian asado.
