Pardon my Ignorance!

Provel is only available here in St. Louis. Here is what Provel cheese is!

Provel™ cheese is a white cheese that is very popular in St. Louis, Missouri. It is a processed cheese composed of cheddar, swiss, and provolone. Provel cheese is very soft with a gooey and almost buttery texture. Provel's low melting point makes it the key ingredient in St. Louis-style pizza, most notably Imo's Pizza. It is also common on salads and on chicken. While very popular in the St. Louis area, Provel cheese is almost unknown elsewhere.

According to St. Louis Post-Dispatch food critic Joe Bonwich, Provel cheese was invented expressly for St. Louis-style pizza more than a half-century ago by a defunct St. Louis firm called Costa Grocery (now Roma Grocery in the Hill neighborhood of St. Louis), in conjunction with a Wisconsin cheese company named Hoffman (now part of Kraft Foods). Bonwich says that Provel was originally developed to meet perceived demand for a pizza cheese with a "clean bite" - one that melts well but still breaks off nicely when you bite into it. Neither of Bonwich's sources at Kraft and Roma had a definitive answer for the origin of the name, although one popular theory is that it's a combination of the words provolone and mozzarella, two of the cheeses for which it is substituted.

The trademark on the Provel name is currently held by the Churny Co.

Well, I didn't know that, Kevin, I thought you forgot to add the "one" in provelone.

If I could pick again, I would pick American then.
