Il Prodotto
Grana Padano is produced in the Pianura Padana area, and it is recognized as a D.O.P. product (Protected Designation of Origin) by the European Union.
It was born in the year 1000, thanks to the monks who absolutely did not want to waste the milk and therefore needed to save it. In this way they invented one of the most well-known traditional Italian cheeses in the world.
We should all go back to this way of thinking in order to respect the wonderful world we live in.
Grana Padano is also among the cheeses with the highest nutritional values available on the market
The four-leaf clover is his mark of origin.
Grana Padano D.O.P. is a semi-fat cheese, obtained with raw cow’s milk with a hard, consistent white or straw-coloured paste.
The crust is hard, smooth and thick, of a dark yellow or brown shade.
It has a cylindrical shape with a weight of 32-40kg, a diameter of 35-45 cm and with a convex side, which is 18-25cm high.
During the ageing period, the wheels of cheese are cared for, cleaned and turned every 15 days.
The Biemmi family has selected an ageing of 12 months which gives the cheese a fragrant smell and a sweet, delicate flavour that recalls elements of the countryside, such as hay.
