Does provolone cheese contain pork products?

Provolone cheese itself does not contain pork products. It is made from cow's milk and does not typically include any animal products other than milk.

However, there are a few things to consider:

* Rennet: Some provolone cheeses use animal rennet (an enzyme extracted from the stomach of calves) in the cheesemaking process. However, many provolone cheeses use microbial rennet, which is a vegetarian alternative.

* Additives: Some provolone cheeses might contain additives like flavorings, which could potentially contain pork products. You'd need to check the ingredient list carefully for any potential pork-derived ingredients.

To be completely sure, it's always best to check the ingredient list of the specific provolone cheese you are buying.
