Grana Padano is a hard, slow-ripened cheese originating from Northern Italy, specifically the Po River Valley. Made from partly skimmed cow’s milk, it has a granular texture and a nutty, slightly sweet flavor. Rich in protein and calcium, it supports bone health and muscle function. Grana Padano is also a good source of vitamins like B12 and essential minerals such as zinc and phosphorus. However, it is relatively high in saturated fat and sodium, so moderation is key, especially for individuals managing heart health or blood pressure. Its Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status ensures its traditional production methods and quality. Versatile in Italian cuisine, it can be grated onto pasta, risotto, or soups, offering depth of flavor. A small portion packs significant nutritional benefits, making it a flavorful yet mindful addition to meals.
