The Provolone del Monaco PDO is one of the most valued and rarest artisanal cheeses from Campania. This semi-hard pasta filata cheese is manually shaped in the mountainous area around the Monti Lattari and the Sorrento peninsula. The name "del Monaco" is attributed to the traditional farmers who, wrapped in cloak-like cloths, rowed to the market in Naples to sell their cheeses.

Thanks to the refined maturation period of at least 6 months, the cheese develops a straw-yellow rind and a unique flavour profile: buttery soft and creamy on first contact, followed by a complex, nutty and slightly spicy aftertaste. Provolone del Monaco DOP is truly indispensable on an exclusive Italian cheese board and plays the leading role in the legendary pasta dish Spaghetti alla Nerano.
