Auricchio APB133: The Iconic Provolone "Bell"

The Auricchio APB133 Provolone is the quintessential symbol of Italian dairy tradition. Shaped into its signature "Bell" (or Campana ) form, this cheese is world-renowned for its hand-crafted quality and unmistakable silhouette. Weighing in at approximately 13 lbs (6kg), the APB133 is the gold standard for delis and gourmet retailers looking to offer an authentic taste of Cremona.

Produced using the legendary Auricchio family recipe, this Provolone is aged to achieve a semi-sharp (Zante) profile. It strikes a sophisticated balance: it possesses that classic piquant spark and creamy texture without being overly aggressive. The wax-coated exterior preserves its moisture, ensuring every slice is as supple and flavorful as the last.

Highlights:

  • Distinctive Shape: The hand-tied "Bell" creates a stunning visual centerpiece for any cheese counter or display.
  • Flavor Profile: Bold and savory with a refined, spicy finish that characterizes true Provolone Piccante .
  • Culinary Use: Exceptionally versatile; it excels when paired with dry cured meats, marinated vegetables, or melted atop artisan flatbreads.
  • Heritage: Produced in Italy using traditional methods that date back over a century.

hoosing between the Stravecchio and the Famous Bell comes down to how much "bite" you want. While both carry the signature Auricchio DNA, they offer distinct experiences for the palate:
