Auricchio Provolone Stravecchio is an extra sharp, produced following ancient traditions and made from pasteurised cow’s milk. It is easily recognisable thanks to its dark ‘cappatura’, the ‘pelure’ with a white watermark and the white Auricchio seal, which give both distinction and authority to this true king of the table.
