One of Italy’s most famous cheeses, Grana Padano is a hard, versatile artisan cheese. Granted PDO status in 1996, it was created by the Cistercian monks of Chiaravalle in the 12th century and is made throughout the Po Valley region (Lombardy, Piedmont, Trentino and Veneto) in northern Italy.
Made from unpasteurised, semi-skimmed cow’s milk from the production area and aged for a minimum of 9 months, as Grana Padano ages, the flavours become pronounced, savoury and complex and the texture becomes more crumbly.
