Grana Padano

Grana Padano is one of the most popular Italian cheeses. The name comes from "grana' (‘grain’), which refers to the distinctively grainy texture of the cheese, and the adjective Padano, referring to the valley where it is orginated and called : Pianura Padana.

Grana Padano is a cousin of the famous Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, as it is made in a similar way but originated from a different area which is much much larger. It is one of those cheeses which can last long time.
