Cheese influences the flavor, appearance and aroma more than any other ingredient. In fact, 9 out of 10 consumers feel that adding cheese to a dish gives it more flavor.
Provo•Nello® is Grande’s registered name for this Provolone. “Nello” - of Italian derivation meaning “smaller” - reflects the smaller diameter of this traditional, robust Provolone. Provo•Nello® was created specifically for ease of handling and consistency back-of-house. Provo•Nello® has a 3 7/8" diameter and is available in loaf or shred.
