Word Origin & History

provolone 
1946, from It., augmentative of provola "cheese made from buffalo milk," from M.L. probula, of uncertain origin.
"Il nome non ha una derivazione precisa. L'etimologia, secondo alcuni, fa pensare alla parola napoletana prova-provola con cui in Campania viene indicato il classico latticino di bufala a pasta filata, da consumarsi fresco." ["Dieta Mediterranea"]
