Making not so Provolone Piccante - 1 Year Old with Taste Test

This Provolone Piccante recipe is not perfect but better than my first attempt and I did get a good result. Provolone cheese is classified into two forms: Provolone Dolce, which is aged for 2-4 months, has a pale yellow to white colour and sweet taste. The other, Provolone Piccante is aged for more than four months and has a sharper taste. I aged this Provolone for more than 12 months!

Best kind of ASMR. Heavy breathing, occasional talk, cheese squeaking.

And latex gloves:)

[@bennytsb5719]

I don’t know why I was recommended this video two days ago, I don’t like cheese, I hate it to an extent, it smells. All I know is that that was the best hour I’ve spent on KZbin this year.

[@bojaiden5175]

There's a sort of satisfaction watching a creative process. I don't like Cheese either, I think it should taste sweet, it throws me off when it's not.

Hello curd nerd godfather, I've been watching your videos, again I watched them yrs ago, tried making cheese, couldn't get further than basics, Well now I took up making soaps, nailed it, then understood tempratures, how different temps affect making soap, which was a problem with me making cheese, I have afew dairy goats, now I follow you recipes, except I use goats milk, I've just made ricotta out of way, and put in my cheese cave, it looks brilliant, I've also made your simple cheese recipes, Getting ready to try and make, your harder cheeses. Just wanted to say, thanku. I now understand what your saying, when making cheese. Oh I'm an Aussie to. Awsome mate, fantastic tutorials.

[@GavinWebber]

Thank you 😊

[@KiesandNoob]

I would love to see a video on Limburger. It's my favorite, but it's so expensive to buy, and learning how to make it would be so fun.

[@h7opolo]

i like this set and camera angle.

[@Phla58]

Looks great Gavin! I love sharp cheeses and sharp provolone sounds delicious about now. Will probably pick some up later because of this video! Keep up the good work!

[@MickyBlutube]

Boy Gavin, with those gloves and sound effects, you are the Darth Vader of cheesemaking . .

[@GavinWebber]

LoL

[@thom3124]

I live in the U.S and I would order one of your cheese kits but the shipping is killing that idea. Love the videos.

Did you know you can use Siri without using your hands Go to Siri settings, and set up hey Siri. That way you can you Siri hands-free This always works well for me, my hands are often wett. Who wants to touch an iPhone with wet hands?

[@rashonryuu]

However, if he said "Hey Siri" on a video, everyone watching the video with that feature enabled would have their video pause as their Síris heard him and listened. Great option for non-recorded cheese making though.

[@carolavant3778]

Looks amazing, Gavin! I've got one lonely cheddar in my cheese cave right now. I'm only making cheese that doesn't require more than a week to develop until the end of hurricane season here. Maybe next year I can manage to get a solar generator that will keep my cheese cave going if the power's off for a week or so. I plan to start making hard cheeses again in November and will definitely try this one!

[@cyndiharrington1751]

Thank you for such wonderful info how to make our Own Cheese

[@SkepticalRaptor]

pH papers are so 1980. There are inexpensive and accurate pH meters on Amazon. They'll give you more accurate information to get your cheese just right.

[@miguelvalenzuela]

Awesome!!

[@gabriellearmstrong5381]

Wow what a lot of work!

[@craig4830]

Gavin, thanks for all of your videos. Apparently, based on this video, cheese can in fact age in an air-tight vacuum sealed bag? I used to think that cheese had to "breathe" to age, but I might be wrong on that? Vacuum sealing seems like a great option to me when I want to keep mold at a minimum but want to develop flavor.

[@Careful3890]

Hard work, Gavin. You are panting like a maraton runner! 😂😂

[@michaelmika2568]

Hi Gav, I have an opportunity to use goats milk yogurt with live cultures. Do you think it would be good in this cheese recipe to enhance the lipase flavor? Or better stick to the plain milk yogurt? Huge fan..I have 8 of your cheeses under my belt but have yet to try any..haha. they are all maturing in the cheese fridge...thanks for your time and content sir. Stay safe.

[@Pbirdification]

G’day Gavin, can I use store bought yoghurt for this recipe? If so could you recommend any ?

[@Trinoaks2]

[@petergould1077]

can you substitute thermophilic culture for the tangy yoghurt?

[@conniehubbard2142]

I really would love a book with your cheese recipes. Do you have one?

[@GavinWebber]

Yes, here is the ebook version of my first book. The second book is being proofread now! www.littlegreenworkshops.com.au/product/keep-calm-make-cheese-ebook/

does the pressing weights change for smaller molds?

Sorry to hear that

[@StarWarsFanGirl1975]

Why not add vertical wires to your curd cutter so that you can dice the curd in one motion?

[@johncspine2787]

Too much resistance, and having to turn it around in the pot you’d mangle it..

[@lizerdon]

how long can that cheese last? o.O

[@cedricwebb784]

With aging long duration cheese and the finickyness of molds and yeasts, how do you mitigate the chance of cross infection and unwanteds when preparing to make cheese outside? Regards from Oregon, USA.

[@GavinWebber]

It's the long maturation process and low maturation temperatures that create enough acid to kill off any potential infections.

[@cedricwebb784]

Thanks for the explanation Gav. I watch these with my kids and we have used you videos for schooling them as they are homeschooled. Your videos are always well put together and the kids love you. Thank you for taking the time to reply to my question.

[@cyndiharrington1751]

How do you make Ricotta cheese from Whey

[@marcobaglieri5043]

If I were to triple this recipe would I triple everything for example the rennet etc?

[@GavinWebber]

Yes

[@barbb1185]

Would I be able to use a store bought yogurt as the thermophilic culture?

[@GavinWebber]

As long as it was a tangy yoghurt which has cultures the acidify quickly.

[@elipsorange]

Sounds delicious. Any reason why the whey expelled during the curing process?

[@timhewitt32]

I suspect the vacuum bag put it under significant pressure - like pressing would have.

[@elipsorange]

Tim Hewitt makes sense, just didn't think it would have so much whey stored into the wheel. Great learning curve, no doubt. Thanks bud

[@Losttoanyreason]

Well If I'm remembering correctly from when he made it before, he hung it in cheesecloth and it dribbled extra whey out of the cheese. Just a guess though.

[@johnhancock9749]

Have you ever made a red pesto cheese?

[@curryandapint]

The harder question is how to get your wife onboard. I have to make all my cheese once everyone is bed, That means I go to bed at 4:00 am :- (

[@cydoroga]

Dear Gavin, you are awesome!) I need some of your help! There is a national cheese of eastern greeks (pontian greeks) which I am not able to find a recipe for. Probably the recipe is lost. The cheese is quite similar to the provolone variation you made. It is stretched, then tore into threads and then is stored in glass or ceramic jars. The taste is very sharp, quite acidic and salty. Even a bit funky. I found your recipe to be a good candidate for recovering described cheese. I just need to change the ending. However, I want to ask your advice: how can I achieve a very sharp, funky and acidic flavor? Should I mature the cheese at a higher temperature for a while? Or, maybe, should I try to achieve a lower PH level before stretching? Thank you!

[@keithmerchant8035]

This video had me breathing as heavy as Gavin

[@dantedias4064]

In my country , provolone is aways a smoked cheese . I would love it if you made a Provolone cheese and did smoke it

[@cyndiharrington1751]

Small amountLiquid smoke added will do the trick

[@DarkDekieon]

I bought some provolone from the grocery store to try it for the first time. Is it supposed to taste like moldy mozzarella, because that is exactly what it tasted like?

[@GavinWebber]

Kind of.

[@TechnoMema]

Do you use animal or vegetable rennet?

[@GavinWebber]

Vegetarian, Fermentation Produced Chymosin (FPC), specifically CHR Hanson Chymax Plus IMCU 200.

[@nicholasletts6933]

Why would you keep the whey? Like could you do anything else with it ?

[@melissarenee4647]

Nicholas Letts yes you can make ricotta cheese and some breads and a few other things with it

[@evelinefoneswilliams906]

Put it in a bucket and add in cracked grain and let it swell and ferment for 3 days and feed it to your poultry.. Much more nutritious and fills them up so you can reduce the amount of grain you feed them by 30- 50%

[@cyndiharrington1751]

Cook your pasta in it...use some of the whey to cook a stew as a replacement for water...high in protein..

[@X02switchblades]

how can we make etorki cheese? It's a sheep milk soft melting in your mouth cheese

first you need black faced sheep from the basque region in France for the milk. Might be a bit difficult to aquire.

Interesting edible failure :)

[@Beaudunk]

First

[@lancebaker1374]

I've never understood why English speakers don't pronounce the 4th syllable. Should be "pro-vo-lo-nay".Ask any Italian. If you were meant to ignore the last syllable, "dolce" would be pronounced "dolch". Ugh!

[@DaveTugwell]

ive never heard those ever

[@melissarenee4647]

Different cultures pronounce things differently. It is what it is.

[@wellingtonoliveira8976]

Maturation is the most important part of Provolone Piccante, and Provolone must never be matured in the vacuum bag. Even the texture is totally different from a matured Provolone. Provolone Piccante is not creamy or crumbly

Wellington Oliveira did you not actually watch the video? He said he called it a not so provolone for those very reasons.
