Applications
Grana Padano suits grating over pasta, risotto, and soups, shaving onto salads and carpaccio, serving on cheese boards alongside cured meats and honey, and melting into sauces and baked dishes
Zarpellon Grana Padano is a DOP-certified Italian hard cheese matured for 12 to 14 months, produced in the Po Valley from 100% Italian cow's milk in accordance with the strict specifications that govern one of Italy's most important protected cheeses. Made from milk, salt, rennet, and lysozyme, each ±1kg triangular wedge is cut from slowly matured wheels that develop the characteristic compact, finely grainy paste and golden rind that define authentic Grana Padano. The flavour is savoury and delicate with a fragrant quality that reflects the long maturation without tipping into the sharper territory of longer-aged hard cheeses.
A versatile DOP-certified hard cheese for professional kitchen and retail use, Grana Padano is one of the most functional Italian cheeses in a professional setting, equally suited to grating, shaving, and board service. It suits restaurants, delis, and wholesale accounts across Cape Town and the Western Cape looking for an authentic Italian hard cheese with full DOP traceability and consistent quality.
