Do you have questions when shopping for cheese? Ask the cheesemonger! A cheesemonger specializes in the buying and selling of high-quality cheese, usually available in the specialty section of a grocery store or cheese shop. Knowledgeable and passionate, a cheesemonger is a go-to resource for cheese varieties and pairings, proper cheese storage and handling, its cooking applications and cheese brand information.

Provolone is produced with similar techniques to mozzarella cheese, but provolone is always made with whole milk and has different cultures. This smoky version adds a unique and delicious counterpoint to the chutney's sweetness.
