Italian Grana Padano - 1 Pound

I read the previous reviews and the only missing element from their reviews is the absence of a statement that says 'this is the best cheese I have ever tasted in all those decades of eating cheese from around the world.' I sliced the first sample in thin finger sized pieces and sat there amazed as the tastes burst in my mouth with a real Parmesan taste as I have never tasted before. It is not rock hard as some Parmesans can be especially if left out in the air too long. After a few bites I poured a thimble full of extra virgin olive oil (EVO) on a plate and drug the cheese strip through the oil. Hold on Andy. That is sense alerting at its best. I seriously thought about grating it for sprinkling over pasta sauces; however, that is not in todays plan nor any time soon. Tonight our meal will have as its appetizer a few black olives, blue cheese, EVO and this wonderful Grana Padano. That could be all there is since I have an appointment with the cardio guy in the morning. Yee Haw!!

This is a very tasty cheese which is hard to find locally. It took 3 days to go from New York to suburban Chicago. I bought it from seller Frank and Sal Italian Market. It was packed with a freezer pack inside a small styro container. The freezer pack was completely thawed when I got it, in fact kind of warm. The weather was not hot, mid 70s. So I don't think I'd order this in the summer, but in cool weather i definitely would.

It was very good, but did not hold up as well as I thought it would from mold. There's just one of me now, I love cheese, but don't eat enough of the various ones I enjoy.

I first heard about Grana Padano on Master Chef. As a cheese lover, I was intrigued to hear of such a delectable cheese that I had not yet tasted. This is the first time I have ever ordered cheese online. This is a light, delicate, yet absolutely delicious cheese. Coupled with a nice glass of Moscato, I was in heaven! Highly recommend!

A hard chesse but a classic amazing taste. .nutty and creamy rich .As if u eat any prosciutto. From parma....best in world ..Yu will taste a over tone of this cheese in the best prosciutto in the world because they feed the select hogs.for.param prosciutto. with Grand parmigiano cheese rinds ..as part of the diet...So enjoy one of the best synergy s in the world

Delicious and subtle. A but pricey but I wanted to try it without having to go out to a store in these times. Came embarrassingly well-packaged in an insulated bag with two cold gel-packs.

Well, the excitement is over. Now mind you, the cheese came fast and maybe getting warm in the shipping, it changed the texture and the taste? No big deal......I can get tastier imported cheese locally. First, the package.....doesn't look anything like the photo, it will get eaten, yes of coarse,,,,,short on taste, I'm disappointed. See all of that crumbly and hard look in the photo!!...not this cheese.......the cheese is rubbery like. Maybe I'll try again?........maybe after a few days in the fridge the flavor will kick in............will keep you posted.

The cheese is good but just good. Not very aged though and texture is very smooth. Not crumbly at all. Another issue was how it was shipped. Arrived in an envelope. No gel packs to keep it cool or anything to the Mohave Valley on an 80 degree day. Maybe that affected the taste. Other cheese from other sellers I have received still cool in insulated pouches with cold packs. Not likely to order again.
