Provolone del Monaco

Food · PDO · 13 municipalities

Provolone del Monaco DOP represents a highly localized dairy specialization restricted to just 13 municipalities in Campania, including Agerola and Massa Lubrense. While generic provolone is widely produced, this specific denomination, recognized since 2005, is distinguished by its micro-scale origin and extreme exclusivity, crafted by only 10 verified producers under the Consorzio di Tutela Provolone del Monaco DOP. This tight geographical constraint ensures that every wheel reflects the precise microclimate of these coastal and mountainous communes. The strict limitation to 10 authorized dairies separates this cheese from neighboring pasta filata products, making it one of the most exclusive designations in Southern Italy.
