Grana Padano PDO 9-16 months

Fruit

Kiwi fruits isolated on white background.

Grana Padano PDO 9-16 months with kiwis

Grana Padano PDO aged 9-16 months has a delicate flavour and smooth texture, making it perfect for fresh and light pairings. The kiwi, with its lively flavour and juicy flesh, creates a balanced contrast to the sweetness of the cheese. This combination is ideal for a refined appetiser or a light gourmet break. Its natural acidity helps enhance the lactic and sweet notes of young Grana Padano, creating a perfect balance between creaminess and freshness. For an even more refined experience, try serving kiwi slices and Grana Padano flakes on wholemeal bread croutons or in a salad with rocket and almonds.

Curiosities:

  • The kiwi is a fruit originally from China, but now widely cultivated in Italy, especially in the regions of Lazio and Emilia-Romagna.
  • Its vitamin C content is even higher than that of oranges, making it a powerful ally of the immune system.
