The authentic taste of Italy
Grana Padano is one of the most famous and beloved cheeses from Italy. This hard cheese originates in the fertile Po Valley in Northern Italy, where the cheese has been prepared according to a traditional recipe by monks since the twelfth century. The name 'Grana' refers to the characteristic grainy structure of the cheese, while 'Padano' indicates the origin from the valley of the river Po. After preparation, the cheese is given plenty of time to mature in peace, so that the flavors can develop optimally.
During this maturation process, the characteristic, crumbly texture and the rich, complex taste are created. Grana Padano is less sharp than its brother Parmigiano Reggiano and has a more subtle, slightly sweet and buttery undertone with a hint of nutmeg. This versatility makes the cheese ideal for grating fresh over a warm pasta or a creamy risotto. In addition, broken into coarse pieces (with a drop of balsamic vinegar), the cheese is an absolute star on any cheese board.
The popular everyday size: enough for sandwiches and a cheese board. Need more or less? See all weights of Grana Padano PDO.
Freshly cut, vacuum-packed and shipped cooled
Your 500 g piece is cut fresh only after you order, and vacuum-packed straight away. The cheese is then shipped cooled to your door. Keep the cheese in the fridge and take it out about half an hour before serving to get the most flavour.
