I know provel is required for an authentic St. Louis style pie, but is it used throughout the Midwest?
Friend from Ohio insists nobody there eats mozzarella on pizza.

Love and meaning and memories of eating Imo's pizza at your grandparents' (both sets) houses in St. Louis before your maternal Grandfather got Alzheimer's and passed away and your maternal Grandmother got dementia and now you don't have time to visit the emptying quiet houses they live in and when you drink too much all the good and the bad childhood memories comeback.

Provel is sweet, savory, and has kind of a gouda-like funk. It's slatherable like queso when melted. God I miss it, I only ever have it when I go back to the midwest for family stuff. Haven't been in four years.

Yeah my cousins lived in Michigan for a while and Illinois some years before that. While they lived in those places they'd use it for pizza and sandwhiches and stuff.

No, it is basically only St. Louis
Its pretty much unknown in the rest of the midwest

Not just St. Louis, but MO as a whole. Only in MO, though

The rest of Missouri outside St. Louis is the south, not the Midwest

It tastes like funky Velveeta.
Not bad on a pizza when you're hammered.
When sober? BLECH

I tried Imos for the first time last week, good pizza. I liked Provel cheese. It's kind of like Velveeta but with less of a fake mild cheddar flavor and more of a funky cheese flavor

Born in Iowa, moved to Minnesota and now living in Chicago for work and school. Never heard of that government block cheese until now. The only nasty cheese that floats around here is velvetta.
