Grana Padano DOP – Aged Italian Excellence
Crafted in the fertile Po River Valley of Northern Italy and protected under strict DOP (Protected Designation of Origin) regulations, Grana Padano is one of Italy’s most celebrated hard cheeses—prized for its approachable flavor, grainy texture, and remarkable versatility.
Aged for a minimum of 16 months, this cheese develops a firm, crumbly texture with delicate crystalline flecks and a balanced, savory flavor profile. Milder and slightly creamier than Parmigiano Reggiano, Grana Padano offers a nutty richness and subtle sweetness that make it ideal for grating, shaving, or enjoying in chunks.
Tasting Notes:
🧀 Crumbly & Crystalline – A firm, grainy texture with delicate crunch
🌰 Mildly Nutty – Notes of roasted nuts and cream with gentle umami
🍯 Balanced & Mellow – A hint of sweetness with a clean, milky finish
Perfect Pairings:
🍝 Grate over pasta, risotto, or roasted vegetables for a savory finish
🥂 Serve in shards with fresh figs, walnuts, and a drizzle of honey
🍷 Pair with sparkling Franciacorta, Pinot Bianco, or a medium-bodied red
Versatile and approachable, Grana Padano brings depth and richness to everyday meals and special occasions alike. Whether used as a finishing touch or centerpiece, it’s a staple for lovers of true Italian cheese.
