Parmigiano Reggiano D.O.P. & Grana Padano D.O.P.
History (and quality) repeating
Parmigiano Reggiano, Grana Padano, Pecorino Romano, or Toscano: all D.O.P. products (“DOP” is the Italian label that certifies a “Protected Designation of Origin”) that are made today as they were made centuries using those same typical and selected ingredients.
Originally these Italian Hard Cheeses were produced by monks: respectively, Parmigiano Reggiano was made in Parma and Reggio Emilia areas, while Grana Padano was made in the plain area close to Milan. Quality has always been – and it still is - at the heart of their formulas.
