A product that revolutionised meal times and the economy
The Lombards were so enamoured with the mild, delicious flavour of Grana Padano that it was soon being produced in many areas. It was also easy to conserve, which promoted its sale on markets in the outlying lands.
Historical documents tell how Grana Padano found its way into the sophisticated dishes of nobles, but was also a favourite ingredient in the simple dishes of the common people.
This exquisite cheese also captured the imagination of painters, which goes to show how Grana Padano had become part of daily life.
