About Grana Padano

Grana Padano is a famous Italian cheese known for its hard, crumbly texture and delicate nutty flavor. It’s similar to Parmesan but slightly milder and less salty. Made from partially skimmed cow’s milk, it’s aged for months to develop its rich, savory taste and crystalline texture, perfect for grating or snacking.

Pairings

Grana Padano pairs wonderfully with pasta, risotto, soups, and salads. It also complements cured meats, figs, and honey, and tastes great with sparkling wines or aged reds.

Funfact:Grana Padano has been made since the 12th century by monks in Northern Italy. Its name comes from “grana,” meaning grainy, which describes its texture, and “Padano,” referring to the Po Valley where it’s produced. Browse All Cheeses →
