They managed to bonify the entire Po Valley, favouring the development of the cattle breeding. The milk production exceeded the daily milk request of the people, so the only way to storage it was to make middle and long ageing cheeses.<\/p>\n<h3>Characteristics of Grana Padano<\/h3>\n<p>The Grana Padano PDO is a hard cheese. It&#8217;s made by the milk from the cows feeded with green forages, preserved in compliance with the requirements of the Grana Padano specification.<\/p>\n<p>The natural ripening of the moulds takes place between 15\u00b0 to 22\u00b0 C, for a specific time, which can be from a minimum of 9 to 20 months. During the 8th month, the moulds are checked and branded.<\/p>\n<p>The Grana Padano PDO is one of the world best-known and appreciated cheeses. The hard rind has to be smooth and thick from 4 to 8 mm. Its colour is a shade from the dark to the natural gold yellow. The dough is fine grained, white or straw yellow in colour. With the help of a knife the dough has to break into flakes. The flavour is delicate and it is fragrant to the bite.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":22932,"template":"","territorio":[939],"categorie_enogastronomia":[967],"class_list":["post-45239","enogastronomia","type-enogastronomia","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","territorio-piacenza-en","categorie_enogastronomia-typical-products"],"acf":{"contatti_iat":[{"contatto_iat":"website","valore":"https:\/\/www.granapadano.it\/"}],"aziende":"","location":{"lat":"45.053249334776204","lng":"9.692998184106386","address":"Piacenza"},"tecniche_tipiche":"","origini_storiche":"","iat":30186,"localita":33156},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Grana Padano DOP - Visit Piacenza<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Well known all over the world The Grana Padano PDO, is a typical hard dough cheese, which breks in flakes under the pressure of the knife.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/visitpiacenza.it\/en\/food-and-wine\/grana-padano-dop\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Grana Padano DOP - Visit Piacenza\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Well known all over the world The Grana Padano PDO, is a typical hard dough cheese, which breks in flakes under the pressure of the knife.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/visitpiacenza.it\/en\/food-and-wine\/grana-padano-dop\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Visit Piacenza\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-06-26T09:27:27+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/visitpiacenza.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Grana-Padano.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1067\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/visitpiacenza.it\/en\/food-and-wine\/grana-padano-dop\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/visitpiacenza.it\/en\/food-and-wine\/grana-padano-dop\/\",\"name\":\"Grana Padano DOP - Visit Piacenza\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/visitpiacenza.it\/en\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/visitpiacenza.it\/en\/food-and-wine\/grana-padano-dop\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/visitpiacenza.it\/en\/food-and-wine\/grana-padano-dop\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/visitpiacenza.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Grana-Padano.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2024-01-25T12:47:31+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-06-26T09:27:27+00:00\",\"description\":\"Well known all over the world The Grana Padano PDO, is a typical hard dough cheese, which breks in flakes under the pressure of the knife.\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/visitpiacenza.it\/en\/food-and-wine\/grana-padano-dop\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/visitpiacenza.it\/en\/food-and-wine\/grana-padano-dop\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/visitpiacenza.it\/en\/food-and-wine\/grana-padano-dop\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/visitpiacenza.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Grana-Padano.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/visitpiacenza.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Grana-Padano.jpg\",\"width\":1600,\"height\":1067,\"caption\":\"Grana Padano, ph.
