About Grana Padano
Grana Padano has been made in Italy's Po River Valley for nearly 1,000 years. The word 'Grana' means 'grainy,' referring to the cheese's texture and 'Padano' refers to the Po River Valley, where it is produced. Nutritious and versatile, it is the world's first hard cheese and Italy's favorite. Made from partially skimmed milk, Grana Padano is low in fat, has reduced salt content, and is a great source of vitamins. Grana Padano is a light and healthy food that is rich in protein and calcium and ideal for children, the elderly, athletes and women, especially during pregnancy. It's ideal for low carb dieters.
