wow. a cheese I have never heard of. St. Louis is going to be on my next itinerary, unless, like Wikipedia says, I can find this cheese some other place on this trip

it's a mix of mozzarella, provolone, and swiss. I happen to enjoy all those cheeses individually, but Provel has a....reputation...

I’ve never seen it here either. What’s its reputation, Thurina?

it's a processed cheese, so it gets all gooey but some people balk at the flavor

The FDA says it isn't real cheese lol but I grew up with it so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's specifically designed to have a certain meltiness and mouthfeel on St. Louis-style thin crust pizza. That's really the only way it's used (or in salad... from the pizza place lol). You can buy the worms in the store and I'm not above eating it straight, but... this is an extremely STL weirdo thing

And by worms I mean worms, that's just how it comes

that looks simultaneously terrifying and intriguing. Gonna try it, feeling culinarily adventurous lately. Thanks!

Thurina: I wonder how it would work for cheese enchiladas?

GingoGumbo i'm thinking quesadilla, depending on consistency

probably a better choice. Enchiladas need time in the oven to soften up properly, which would result in a gooey mess
