Milbona Grana Padano DOP grated cheese

Milbona Grana Padano DOP is a premium grated Italian hard cheese produced under the strict regulations of the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO/DOP) status. This certification ensures that the cheese is manufactured, processed, and prepared in the specific Po Valley region of Northern Italy using traditional methods and local unpasteurized cow's milk.

Milbona is a private label brand belonging to the German multinational retailer Lidl. The brand was originally established in Germany as part of Lidl's strategy to provide high-quality dairy products under its own proprietary label. Ownership of the brand lies with Lidl Stiftung & Co. KG, which is itself a major division of the Schwarz Group, one of the world's largest retail companies headquartered in Germany. While the brand is German in origin and management, the product itself is authentically Italian, produced by specialized dairies in Italy that meet the consortium standards for Grana Padano.
