Aged provolone
Aged provolone develops a sharp, piquant flavor profile with nutty undertones that pairs beautifully with medium-bodied, high-acid red wines that can cut through the cheese's richness while complementing its complexity. For beers, styles with malty sweetness and some fruity esters create an excellent contrast to the cheese's tanginess while the carbonation helps cleanse the palate.
