The word Grana means "grainy" or "granular" because this is how the cheese looks when it is cut open. Grana Padano is aged a minimum of 18-months. It carries a mark on the cheese. This is a special four leaf clover and indicates the province of origin. It is low in fat and very high in protein and calcium.
