Description:
Provolone Mandarone is a cheese produced in a great variety of formats. The largest, most suitable for along ripening period are called ‘mandarone’ (large tangerine), due to their similarity of form to the fruit, and ‘pancettone’ (large ‘pancetta’ – a kind of salume) whose weight in excess of 100 kilos is the largest existing cheese both in Italy and, possibly, the rest of the world. It can also be eaten fresh but its most interesting features develop after a long (more than one year) ripening in an appropriate environment.
