Description

Manufacturer Information:

The company was founded at the end of the 19th century in Bergamo, Italy, by Guido Zanetti, known for his expertise in cheese "ripening" technology. By 1940 he had established himself as the leading maturer for the region's Grana cheeses, distinguished by their firm and grainy structure. In 1946, the company started industrial production for the first time and 2 years later began exporting its products. After more than a century of history, today Zanetti is the world market leader in Grana Padano and Parmigiano Reggiano.

Technology

The cheese matures for 3 to 4 months. It is not cut with an ordinary knife, but is 'scraped' into little rosettes with a special knife called a Girole. Shaped in this way, the cheese is suitable as an aperitif and garnish for salads, accompanied by rustic bread with raisins.
