Not so about provolene cheese. Some of it is aged- Provolone is a semi-hard cheese with taste varying greatly from Provolone Piccante (piquant), aged minimum 4 months and with a very sharp taste, to Provolone Dolce (sweet) with a very mild taste. In Provolone Piccante, the distinctive piquant taste is produced with lipase originating from goat. The Dolce version uses calf's lipase instead.
In regard to Parmesam, yes it is aged. I dearly love cheese but now have to stick to the fakes--the processed cheese like the fake swiss, etc. Cooked with food it is not too bad. Alone on crackers, it is awful. I am a big cheese fan, and I dearly love swiss cheese. The fake kind is not anything like the real thing, but what is more important for me is that the darn Parnate keeps me from being depressed. So, I can have cheese and pickled herring, and soy, and smoked lox or smoked other stuff off meds, and be depressed or not be depressed and live without some things due to the meds. And yes Alfredo sauce has Parmesan cheese in it. So, look at the labels. It seems gg found a Parmesan that is made from processed cheeses??? I am wondering who makes it? Can you say? Thanks.
