provolone

Postby jpj » Sat Feb 24, 2007 9:45 pm

sliced into one after waiting a year.
very nice and medium-strong flavour
i smoked, waxed and hung mine and so it retained some moisture
didn't use any lipase or capilase, so should be interesting to try using those cultures . . . if only i could source it?
moorlands p&p is crazy (5% plus �2)
for a teabag sized sachet :shock:
ps. sorry no photos :(

provolone: similar in production to mozzarella, a pasta filata, but brined and aged. sometimes smoked. made in various shapes and sizes, usually a lot bigger than your mozzarellas.

this one was about 3/4 kg / 1.5 lb
