This is a classic Italian hard cheese produced in the Po River Valley using time-honored methods and cow’s milk. This 18-pound quarter wheel offers a substantial format ideal for foodservice, entertaining, or serious home cooks, delivering both authenticity and versatility in a large-scale presentation.
After aging for at least 16 months, the cheese develops its characteristic granular texture and balanced flavor. The paste is firm and pale straw-colored, breaking into delicate flakes with notes of butter, toasted nuts, and a gentle savory finish. Compared to Parmigiano Reggiano, it is slightly milder and more approachable, making it an excellent everyday grating and finishing cheese.
Highly versatile, Grana Padano is perfect for grating over pasta, risotto, and soups, shaving onto salads, or serving in chunks on a cheese board. This quarter wheel format is especially suited for kitchens that value consistent quality and traditional Italian flavor in a practical, larger format.
- Pairings: Pinot Grigio, Prosecco, Valpolicella Classico, or a light Chianti.
