You may think Grana Padano is limited to being used in Italian dishes, but this aged cheese adds a ton of flavour to many other recipes. Add the rind to soups, broths or stocks to impart a beautiful depth of flavour. Or thicken sauces and dressings with a healthy heap of grated Grana Padano and add flavour to crispy, battered bites. With over 4 million wheels sold every year, Grana Padano is now the most widely consumed PDO (protected designation of origin) cheese in the world. Grana Padano is known for its unmistakable flavour and aroma, making it the king of the table to be savoured in myriad ways, from antipasti to desserts.

With its crystalline, crumbly texture and mild, delicate flavour, it’s no mystery why Grana Padano is so popular. Its consistently excellent quality is due to each wheel being examined at nine months by an impartial technician from the official Consortium of Grana Padano. Only after this does a wheel of Grana Padano receive its iconic firebrand – your guarantee of authenticity and exceptional flavour.
