With its crystalline, crumbly texture and mild, delicate flavour, it’s no mystery why Grana Padano is so popular. Its consistently excellent quality is a result of each wheel being examined at nine months by an impartial technician from the official Consortium of Grana Padano. Only after it has their approval does a wheel of Grana Padano receive its iconic firebrand – your guarantee of authenticity and exceptional flavour. It's the perfect additon to Japanese salt bread giving it a luxurious taste of Italy’s absolute finest.
