Provoleta

Argentina

The beloved starter of every Argentine asado. The moment it arrives sizzling is the moment the feast truly begins.

Grilled provolone cheese — a thick disc of provolone dusted with oregano, chilli and olive oil, grilled on the asado until melted and golden. Eaten before the main meat.
