padano

Hard, crumbly-textured cheese originating from the Po Valley in northern Italy, made from unpasteurized cows' milk that is semi-skimmed through a natural creaming process. Known for its buttery, softer, and more delicate taste compared to Parmigiano Reggiano, Grana Padano has less strict production regulations. It is primarily enjoyed by cheese enthusiasts and culinary professionals seeking a versatile and flavorful addition to various dishes.
