Two fundamental ingredients are needed to season Provolone Valpadana: time and patience. Only in this way, in fact, the most famous spun paste cheese in Italy can obtain that exclusive taste that makes it a dish with a unique taste.<\/p>\n

Among the cheeses,\u00a0Provolone Valpadana<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0can boast two completely different versions, the\u00a0mild<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0strong<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0one. This not only in the final result, but also in the manufacturing process itself.<\/p>\n

Even before spinning, in fact, the milk is combined with two versions of rennet:<\/p>\n

\u2013 Veal in the case of the mild Provolone Valpadana;<\/p>\n

\u2013 Kid and\/or lamb in the case for strong Provolone Valpadana.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The spinning is the same for all the shapes<\/strong><\/a>, while the process is different at the moment of seasoning.<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The\u00a0cheese maturing<\/strong>\u00a0is a process during which the food is placed \u201con hold\u201d, at the end of all other stages of production, in an environment with particular climatic conditions. During this time, which can vary greatly depending on the cheese in question, all the characteristics and peculiarities are exalted.<\/p>\n

In this specific case, before the maturation of the Provolone Valpadana cheese, it is also tied, an ancient tradition still perpetrated by master cheesemakers.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The cheeses then pass through the maturing warehouses for a period varying from a few days to several months.<\/p>

The mild Provolone Valpadana has a minimum aging time of 10 days, whilst the strong type is aged for a period that may even last for more than 12 months. In this case, we will have the Aged Strong Provolone Valpadana POD<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>

In both cases, however, it is only this waiting time that allows the bacteria to work and recreate the ideal conditions to better appreciate this Italian excellence.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Once the seasoning is over, Provolone Valpadana is ready to receive its guarantee mark (the cockade), issued by the\u00a0Consortium<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and disciplined by the\u00a0European regulations<\/u><\/a><\/strong>, and to enter the sales network, thus reaching the tables of Italians and all over the world and making every meal special.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
