Provoleta is Provolone cheese’s South American relative, and it’s the single best cheese for the grill.
The pulled-curd cheese has the loveliest mild flavor, but it’s the cheese’s flavorsome but firm texture that makes it a favorite with grilling enthusiasts. It softens and browns, but it never loses integrity.
If you want to experience this Argentine dairy specialty, you must have a Provoletera or provoleta pan.
Made with cast iron, you can melt any cheese on your grill, drip-free, knowing your cheese pan will last a lifetime.
Top your provoletas with olive oil, ham, sausage, or veggies for a wholesome and very satisfying cheese, and keep each portion separate with a provoletera to offer your guests a wide variety of toppings.
A provoletera will change the way you see cheese, and you’ll soon make it a staple food in all your grilling endeavors.
