While Caciocavallo is generally produced throughout Southern Italy, over the wide area of Apennine Mountains and of the Gargano peninsula, only Calabrian Provola is shaped like a tear-drop, very similar in taste to the aged Southern Italian Provolone cheese, with a soft edible rind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many different types of PROVOLA exist in Italy and several are recognized as P.A.T. (\u201cProdotto agroalimentare tradizionale\u201d, traditional regional food product), but only Provola Silana has the better Protected geographical status (PDO).<\/p>\n\n\n\n This cheese is made with cow\u2019s milk in designated areas of Southern Italy, in the regions of Basilicata, Calabria, Campania, Molise and Puglia and gained protected geographical status, since 1993.<\/p>\n\n\n\n THE TRADITIOF OF A DELICIOUS CHEESE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Maybe, the term \u201cProvola\u201d derives from the word \u201cPruvatura<\/em>\u201d or \u201cPruvula<\/em>\u201d which was the cheese made to taste the priests conducting a religious procession to a monastery (in Italian to taste is translated by the verb \u201cprovare\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Explore our products, coming from CALABRIA.

The ancient Greek provol\u00e0 (Attic \u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03b2\u03bf\u03bb\u03ae<\/strong>, Doric \u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03b2\u03bf\u03bb\u03ac<\/strong>) generically indicated all those things that protrude. Therefore, the typical protuberance of the cheese \u201cprovola\u201d is maybe related to the classic word. At the same time, it recalls the clearly Greek origin of such delicious cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n OUR ROLE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n SMAF LTD is a supplier and has vision and mission as Society for Authentic Mediterranean Food (S.M.A.F.).
