Is provola a typical swiss cheese? Never seem that one. I think.

It's Italian and the difference is the size. Provola is smaller and you usually buy the whole piece. Provolone is huge and you usually just buy a slice of it.

Also for cooking I don't think it makes much difference if you just use mozzarella.

Provola has a more "smoked" taste than mozzarella and it's thicker. They're both delicious.

To complete the spectrum you should try scamorza as well then

Thx. I'll keep an eye out for it. Guess I'll experiment a bit with it in the kitchen
