Grana Padano 24 Months Matured – Approx. 300g

A bold, crystalline hard cheese from the Po Valley — Italy’s most iconic slow-aged grating cheese.

This exceptional Grana Padano has been aged for a minimum of 24 months, earning the coveted Riserva classification — the highest grade within the PDO. As the cheese slowly matures in the cellars of the Po Valley, it develops a deep amber paste with the characteristic white crystalline flecks that signal a truly long-aged grain cheese. The rind is thick, hard, and deeply golden.

On the palate, expect rich, concentrated flavours — toasted hazelnuts, dry grass, and a lingering savoury intensity that deepens with every bite. The texture is granular and slightly crumbly, dissolving cleanly on the tongue with a long, satisfying finish. Compared to a young Grana, the 24-month version delivers significantly more complexity and a pleasantly assertive, umami-driven bite.

Tasting notes

• Aroma: Toasted hazelnut, dry hay
• Flavour: Rich, savoury, umami-forward
• Texture: Granular, crumbly, melt-in
• Finish: Long, warm, nutty

How to use it

Grate generously over risotto, fresh pasta, soups, or roasted vegetables to add instant depth. Serve in shards on a cheeseboard alongside honeycomb, dried figs, and a glass of aged Barolo or Amarone. The Riserva is also magnificent on its own — broken rather than sliced, with a drizzle of aged balsamic.
