Grana Padano is a cheese that carries with it the breath of the Lombardy plains: it is made from patiently collected milk, turns golden like the summer sun and matures in silence, between wooden boards and air that smells of the countryside. A cheese that does more than just nourish: it evokes.
Grana Padano
The term “GRANA” was used originally to indicate a cheese characterised by the grainy texture of the cheese produced in Valle Padana from the 11th century. The fire-branded GRANA PADANO trademark, received from the Consortium for cheeses that have aged for at least 9 months after verification that the finished product meets the requirements and provisions of production specifications, qualifies the cheeses as an authentic GRANA PADANO.
Protected Designation of Origin
It is a mark provided by European legislation, and identifies an agricultural and food product that has essentially two features: is only produced in a given and clearly identified production area and the production technology boasts a proven historical tradition.
