 From cheese-making to Grana Padano DOP
 
 
 
The Grana Padano Production Disciplinary is a crucial document listing the tough regulations that have to be met by cattle breeders, dairies and maturers. Action is taken against anyone caught using foodstuffs that have been banned by the Disciplinary.

Likewise, any behaviour not specifically stated within this document is also strictly forbidden. Observing this disciplinary has made Grana Padano a Denominazione di Origine Protetta cheese, or as we like to call it D.O.P.

The Disciplinary lists all the foodstuffs that can be used and also a blacklist of illegal foodstuffs that are bad for the animals' health and consequently jeopardise the high quality of the milk.
