Provel is a processed cow's milk cheese from the United States, sold as a white loaf or slice that is built to melt. It is not a single farmhouse wheel. Makers blend cheddar, American Swiss, and provolone into one smooth product, then form it so the paste stays soft and even. The flavor is mild, buttery, and a little tangy, with a hint of the provolone in the mix. There is no rind, and there is no long cave aging.
