call me wierd...provolone has it's place, but the taste of game can stand up and bark to a better piece of cheese. I'm partial to smoked jarlesburg or smoked havarti when using this. Matter of fact, i found a 1 lb pack of chops yesterday and have been eating this for 2 days now for lunch. Killed the last of it today. I'm now OFFICIALLY out of deer meat LOL...unless i find another pack hidden someplace else
