Nebrodi Provola Cheese From Sicily

It was known until recently as “Provula di Floresta,” because the village of the same name on the foothills of Mount Etna is one of its main processing centers: but it is produced throughout the Nebrodi Park area, where the altitude of the mountain pastures, which are higher than even 1,000 meters, ensures fresh grass all year round. This provola represents an exception in Sicily, where caciocavallo almost always gets square shapes.

An ancient local tradition has it that the taste of this provola goes well with that of citrus fruit: so much so that people used to flavor it by inserting a small unripe lemon into its paste during processing.
