What Stravecchio Grana Padano is like
For those who have not had this excellent cheese, it may be helpful to compare Stravecchio Oro del Tempo, Grana Padano, which is relatively obscure outside of Italy, with cheeses that English-speakers may have had the good fortune to try. It is a hard aged cheese, in my opinion more like Regiano Parmesan than anything made in North America. It has sort of crystalline fracture lines in it, and is quite tangy, which makes it offset fruit nicely, but as it is hard as well as tangy, it does beautifully in place of more ordinary grating cheeses such as Romano or Parmesan. Some very old cheddars are a little bit like that, but North American cheddars are never this hard and grainy. It has bursting hard crystals of lactic acid and milk sugars.
wonderful grana padano
This is a wonderful example of grana padano. The taste is piquant, with nutty overtones. Maybe the best example we have had to date.
To Pair with a Pear
I still have warm memories of Grana, pears, and Grappa, my favorite after-dinner treat when I lived in Italy. Grana is like a crumbly cheddar, but milder and more distinctive. If you are wild about pears, Grana is the perfect accompaniment, but it's luscious with apples and grapes, too.
Grana is not easy to find here, so I was thrilled to find it at Amazon partner iGourmet!

Product Description


Stravecchio Oro del Tempo is a superior, 22-month aged Grana Padano produced by Agriform near Venice. This masterpiece compares beautifully with its better-known cousin Parmigiano Reggiano. The flavor of Stravecchio is intense and complex, with fruity overtones that evoke pineapple or strawberry, depending on the season. Like all precious things, every Stravecchio cheese is one of a kind, and each wheel is branded with a unique serial number. Agriform tests the quality of each wheel of Stravecchio every week until the twentieth month of aging. The end result of this rigorous testing process is that only the cheeses that deserve to become prime Grana Padano Stravecchio are stamped with the certificate of origin and guarantee.
