Description

Ravioli with Provolone del Monaco DOP. The most accredited theory on the origins of the denomination “Provolone del Monaco” refers to the fact that the cheese makers who docked at dawn in the port of Naples, with their load of provoloni from the various localities of the Sorrento peninsula, used to wear a sackcloth cape, similar to the habit worn by monks, to protect themselves from the cold and damp. Once they had arrived in Naples, the people who worked in the market began to call these peasants, monks (Monaco in Italian), and consequently the cheese they carried, Provolone del Monaco
