[Sca-cooks] Period Cheeses

[Terry Decker]

Master Huen lists provolone as a medieval cheese, but I didn't see any
documentation on his web site.

The Oxford Companion to Food has an article on provolone, unfortunately, I
don't have one.  Root provides nothing.

According to Chef Walter http://www.chefwalter.com/gstronomy.htm ,
caciocavallo is a similar cheese originating in the Kingdom of the Two
Sicilies.

Not a whole lot readily available.  That piques my curiosity.
