Provola delle Madonie al Lemon , a Slow Food Presidium.

Made from the milk of Bruna cows, Provola delle Madonie al Limone has the characteristic shape of a flask or strangled at the neck. The stretching of the dough is done by hand and with the help of a stick.

With a sweet and delicate flavour, Provola delle Madonie al Limone is enriched with a Sicilian lemon.

Provola is a stretched curd cheese, among the oldest in Southern Italy. Its name derives from "proof", because originally a cheese test was carried out by taking a piece of dough from the tub to check the state of stretching. Provola is often referred to as mature mozzarella, because the manufacturing process to obtain the two products is the same up to the last stage, i.e. maturation, which is absent in the mozzarella production process.

The shape of Provola delle Madonie al Limone is the classic one of many stringy cheeses from southern Italy, i.e. pear-shaped, with a small head tied by a loop at the top. The rind is smooth and white in colour, as is the paste inside, which is soft, compact and elastic. The flavor is sweet and slightly acidic thanks also to the presence of lemon, and the aroma is very delicate.
