Aged Italian Hard Cheese from the Po Valley

Product Description

Grana Padano is a classic Italian cheese made from partially skimmed cow’s milk and aged in the Po River Valley, including Lombardy, Veneto, and Emilia-Romagna. It is DOP-certified and produced using traditional techniques dating back to the 12th century. Aged from 9 to over 20 months, Grana Padano offers a slightly milder, creamier profile than Parmigiano Reggiano, while still rich in character:

• DOP-certified (Denominazione di Origine Protetta)

• Made from semi-skimmed raw cow’s milk

• Naturally aged and regularly turned during maturation

• Firm, pale yellow texture with a natural rind

• Available in 9-, 16-, or 20+ month-aged varieties

Balanced, versatile, and more delicate than its cousin Parmigiano Reggiano.

Tasting Notes

• Mildly nutty and savory with buttery notes

• Smooth, grainy texture with gentle saltiness

• Creamier and less sharp than Parmigiano

• Delicate aroma with hints of milk and hay

Serving Suggestions

Serve grated, shaved, or in chunks:

• Grate over pasta, soups, or vegetable dishes

• Serve cubed with fresh fruit, nuts, or balsamic vinegar

• Pair with Prosecco, Pinot Grigio, or young Chianti

• Great for cooking, snacking, or cheese boards
