Grana Padano
Grana Padano, granted DOP on 12 June 1996, is one of the few kinds of cheese that can compete with the King of Cheeses; Parmigiano-Reggiano. Created by the Cistercian monks of Chiaravalle in the 12th century, it is still made throughout the Po River Valley in northeastern Italy.
The cheese is made from unpasteurised, semi-skimmed cow’s milk from two milkings and generally aged for two years. At the end of the cheese-making process, Grana Padano develops a firm, thick and deeply straw-coloured rind protecting the fragrant, dry, flaking interior. Grana means “grainy” in Italian, which is reflected in the fine granular texture with an intensely sweet flavour. As Grana Padano ages, the flavours become pronounced, savoury and complex, and the texture becomes more crumbly.
Though similar to Parmigiano, Reggiano Grana Padano is inexpensive cheese. Moreover, Grana is less crumbly, milder and less complex than its long-aged sibling.
