Provoleta Cheese | Argentina

Provoleta is the ultimate sharing appetizer.  It is a 8oz disc of dried provolone cheese that holds its shape when cooked. Traditionally it is seasoned with chimichurri, oils or spices, then topped with chilli and/or oregano and eaten communally with bread.

Many provoletas found stateside come seasoned, which we think is a horrible idea... half the fun of eating provoleta is trying different toppings, experimenting with different cooking methods... which is why we chose to dry our own cheese and make our own Provoleta which we sell unseasoned, of course.

Cook it by placing it directly on the grill, we recommend a small plate or cast iron (like the one in the picture, which is NOT included) but it is not required. You want to cook it until it melts just enough to be eaten with bread.
