Is provolone cheese a soft cheese?

Provolone cheese is not considered a soft cheese. It's actually classified as a semi-hard cheese.

Here's why:

* Texture: Provolone has a firm texture that's not easily spreadable.

* Moisture content: It has a lower moisture content compared to soft cheeses like brie or camembert.

While provolone can be sliced thinly, it holds its shape well and doesn't melt as quickly as soft cheeses.
