is provolone supose to smell very very bad??

[ashs]

first time buying provolone cheese, taste is ok but man does it smell. is this normal?

[almostfreeman]

Provolone doesn't really smell too much, maybe your nose is more sensitive than mine. If it tastes ok then I would eat it.

it smells.

don't you remember the sopranos? sylvio freaking out during the poker game?

"i sleep with provolone in my socks at night, so when i wake up they smell like your sisters......."

Well, Matt shoulda just left the cheese alone and not engaged Syl in conversation. He was warned, you know...

I don't think it should smell unless you really put it up to your nose. All the instances when I ate provolone, I didn't smell anything as I picked it up and placed it on my food.

A cheese that "really smells" is one that smells as you take it out of the package:lol:

The Provolone generally available is pretty mild stuff both in taste and smell. You can get a smoked version that has a strong distinct aroma.

Its quite mild tasting and smelling when I buy it.

It could be stronger smelling when the package is opened for the first time.

i find smoked provolone to have a very strong flavor, but regular provolone not so much

LMAO, exactly. Good memory :)

Ive noticed that it can occasionally have a bit of a stronger smell, it's a mild tasting cheese overall.

Raclette takes this to the extreme, very strong smelling yet mild tasting.....

Depends on the age but it definitely has a stronger smell than taste.
