Italian Hard Cheese

Grana Padano Italian Hard Cheese 1kg is a classic Italian cheese known for its gently savoury flavour, nutty notes and clean finish that works beautifully across everyday cooking. Made in northern Italy using traditional methods, this hard cheese has a firm yet crumbly texture that grates easily and melts smoothly into hot dishes without becoming greasy. It is a popular choice for home cooks looking for an authentic Italian hard cheese that can be used generously, whether stirred through pasta, shaved over salads or added to sauces, risottos and bakes. With a balanced flavour that is rich but not overpowering, Grana Padano is easy to use in both simple midweek meals and more considered weekend cooking, making it a reliable staple for any kitchen.

How does Grana Padano differ from other Italian hard cheeses?

Grana Padano is typically aged for a shorter time than some other Italian hard cheeses, which gives it a milder flavour and a softer texture that is easier to grate and melt in everyday cooking.

Can Grana Padano be used for cooking as well as serving at the table?

Yes, it is particularly valued for cooking because it melts smoothly into sauces and risottos while still offering enough flavour to be enjoyed shaved or grated just before serving.

Why is Grana Padano often recommended for regular home cooking?

Its balanced flavour, consistent quality and versatility make it a dependable choice for a wide range of dishes without overwhelming other ingredients.
