Meet Grana Padano DOP

Made according to a centuries-old recipe in the Po River Valley in Northern Italy, Grana Padano DOP is the best-selling DOP cheese and a staple in Italian cuisine. With this bundle, you'll have the chance to savor three different ages of Grana Padano DOP: 12 months, 16 months, and Riserva (over 20 months), all characterized by a consistent straw color, grainy structure, and nutty flavor.
Every wheel of Grana Padano DOP is made with semi-skimmed, unpasteurized milk from cows raised in the specific geographic area of Piemonte, Lombardia, Trentino, Veneto, Emilia-Romagna with a controlled diet of fresh or stored forage and greens.
We recommend enjoying the 12 and 16 months Grana Padano DOP on its own, sliced on an antipasto platter, and the Riserva grated over pasta or risotto. Pair with a glass of well-structured red wine.
In 1954, the Grana Padano Protection Consortium was established to bring together all the producers, affineurs (experts who age cheese), and traders of this iconic formaggio. In 1996, the European Union granted the cheese DOP (Denominazione d'origine protetta) status.
