Celebrating 140 Years

When you think of Italian cheeses, you think provolone. In Italy, when you think provolone, the name that comes to mind is Auricchio. This legendary delicacy was founded in 1877 by Gennaro Auricchio at San Vesuviano in the province of Naples. Gennaro Auricchio, the inventor of the “special recipe” or – so it was called – the “secret of Don Gennaro” that gives to Auricchio its unique flavor, popular throughout the world.

Today, Auricchio is the world leader in provolone. And true to its heritage, all Auricchio provolone is still manufactured by hand, “Fatto a mano da sempre.” Ambriola is proud to offer a full-line of imported Italian provolone from the Auricchio brand. No other provolone has the same tradition, craftsmanship, quality or taste of Auricchio imported provolone. Try for yourself what 140 years of perfection tastes like.

Our Provolone … the Auricchio Provolone in all its varieties (Provolone Piccante, Provolone Dolce, Provolone Giovane), is a complete food, rich in calcium and in the proteins that are essential elements for the development of human body and the nourishment of bone tissue in all stages of life:
