Provel cheese

[breadandbutter9]

Does anyone know where I can buy a block of Provel cheese? In Manhattan or even the Outer Boroughs if necessary.
thanks.

Hey B&B, we buy our provel in the "rope" form, in 5lb bags, shipped air freight from Roma Pizza works, which is the wholesale arm of Imo's. They pack it in dry ice and it arrives the next day.

I know Imo's sells it from their website, and ships everywhere.

As a lifelong St. Louisan, I have to say, I don't absolutely hate the stuff. It melts nice on a pizza.

did you try any cheesemongers yet? Murrays and Beechers have a wide selection. Lucy's Whey and Saxelby may not be as big but they can probably get you something close. I havent been to it yet, but Bedford Cheese Shop is another option.

For jester99 and anyone else coming into this thread without specific prior knowledge of Provel:

its closer to velveeta than anything carried at murrays, beechers, saxelby or others . . .

Speedy Romeo in clinton hill has the "st louie" pizza which includes provel - so someone in town must distribute it (maybe only wholesale? maybe they have a secret connection?). You could call and ask where they get their from.

Ditto that rec. Or, just go to Speedy *in person* and ask while you're enjoying the St. Louie. It was my favorite pizza on the menu.
