Grana Padano DOP Italian Cheese Quarter Wheel, Aged 16 Months description:
Grana Padano DOP is a hard, unpasteurized, aged, semi-skim cow's milk cheese from Italy. The name "Grana" means "grainy" in Italian, which is reflected in its fine, granular texture. This cheese is aromatic with a rich, full bodied, creamy and mild flavor that leaves a lingering aftertaste. This specific Grana Padano is aged 16 months, supplying a slightly sweeter taste and less grainy texture than its counterparts that are aged for a longer time. As Grana Padano ages, the flavours become pronounced, savory and complex and the texture becomes more crumbly. At the end of the cheese making process, Grana Padano develops a firm, thick and deeply straw-coloured rind protecting the fragrant, dry, flaky interior. Grana Padano is less crumbly, milder and less complex than its long-aged sibling, Parmigiano Reggiano.
