Cucina Andolina Imported Grana Padano Parmesan is a premium, authentic Italian cheese sourced from the finest producers in the Po River Valley of Northern Italy, crafted under strict Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) regulations. Made from unpasteurized, semi-skimmed cow’s milk, this hard, grainy-textured cheese is aged for a minimum of 9 months, with some varieties like the Riserva aged up to 20 months or more, developing a rich, nutty, and slightly sweet flavor with a subtle saltiness. Its pale-yellow curd is crumbly yet smooth, with a delicate, buttery aroma and a granular texture characteristic of “grana” cheeses, making it a milder, less complex alternative to Parmigiano Reggiano. Ideal for grating over pasta, risottos, soups, or salads, Cucina Andolina Grana Padano also shines as a table cheese, shaved into thin slices for charcuterie boards or paired with fruits, honey, or bold red wines like Chianti. Also adds depth to dishes like lasagna or parmesan-crusted proteins.
