Description
Grana Padano is a crumbly cheese, similar to Parmesan, and is used in similar ways. Can be eaten on its own, as part of a cheese course. Mostly, however, is grated and used as an ingredient or garnish for other dishes, such as in pastas, soups and souffles. Grana Padano can also be shaved thin and used in dishes such as a zucchini carpaccio: layers of very thinly sliced zucchini covered with salt, lemon juice and olive oil, and sprinkled with cheese, fresh herbs and sometimes pine nuts.
