Cheese - Parmesan Grana Padano 200gm ITALY

Grana Padano is a delicious hard cheese that is a symbol of “Made in Italy” gastronomic excellence throughout the world.

The top tier of Parmesan styles is Reggiano, but Grana Padano comes a very close second. Hence why we stock it. Buying Parmesan in a block rather than ready-grated gives a much, much better flavour profile, especially when freshly grated straight onto your meal!

WASTE TIP: Don't throw away rind, but freeze and when you next make a vegetable-based or minestrone soup, or a Bolognaise sauce add and simmer whilst cooking to great taste. Discard cheese before serving.

Made with low-fat cow's milk, Parmesan is a hard semi-fat cheese, fine grained, white or straw yellow in colour, enclosed in a hard, dark yellow rind that is smooth and thick. The average weight of a whole wheel of Parmesan is about 38kg.

It has a fragrant aroma and a distinctive and classic flavour and is aged for 16 months.
