Did you know that Provolone translates to "big, aged mozzarella" in Italian? That's right, anytime time "-one" falls on the end of an Italian word, it means it’s a big version of the root word, in this case, "Provola". Provola translates to "aged mozzarella", so Provolone means "big, aged mozzarella".

Caputo's team of cheesemakers stretch our naturally fermented curds by hand and then place the cheese in a tubular form to keep the traditional shape. Once cooled, the cheese is placed in brine and hung in our aging cave for 30-45 days. As the cheese ages, excess moisture is wicked away while proteins and fats break down; all resulting in a cheese with a smooth, firm consistency and a creamy, slightly tangy flavor.
Slice it for a cheeseboard with spicy cured meats, or add to a sandwich! This cheese will please every guest with its approachability and easy finish.
Deciding on their honeymoon to quit their Fortune 500 jobs, David and Rynn Caputo attended culinary school in Calabria, Italy for four months. After traveling across all twenty regions of Italy, they knew they were destined to make their culinary passion their life’s work. Upon returning to the States and recognizing the void of cheeses they had grown to love, the idea for a creamery was born, and aptly named after their sons, Giovanni and Matteo Caputo—The Caputo Brothers. Caputo Brothers Creamery, based in Spring Grove, Pennsylvania, has produced handcrafted, authentic Italian cheeses since 2011.
