How Grana Padano is Made – Watch the Production of Italy's Most Popular Cheese

[AD: Grana Padano] Join us as we tour a dairy farm by Lake Garda and learn how the famous Grana Padano cheese is made. We captured the entire production process of Italy's most popular cheese, from when the milk is delivered in the morning, to the cooking and curdling process, until it reaches the aging room. Then we watched as an expert checked the cheese wheels, cracked one open, and, the best part, we got to taste a special 27-month old Grana Padano Riserva cheese.

Next, we journey to the venerable Grand Hotel Fasano where executive chef Matteo Felter teaches us how to cook his signature Grana Padano risotto. The recipe uses Grana Padano cheese rinds to flavor the risotto water, and a healthy amount of Grana Padano cheese is grated on top. Curry and balsamic vinegar powder, as well as apple cubes and apple blossoms, are used to garnish the dish.
