Grana Padano
Like Parmigiano Reggiano, Grana Padano has centuries of history behind it.
The outstanding quality of this cheese, that is a staple on practically every table in Italy, derives from the ingredients and the aging â or maturing - time.
The Nuova Castelli facility in Pavia is one of the major producers of Grana Padano.
It is a hard-paste cheese made from cow’s milk and even its name, brings up its “graininess” and hard texture that are achieved thanks to a long maturing process.
The rind is a dark yellow color and the brand-mark certifies that it is quality-controlled by the Consorzio Tutela Grana Padano.
