Iperal Grana Padano DOP cheese

Grana Padano is a Protected Designation of Origin (DOP) cheese that must be produced in specific regions of Northern Italy, including Lombardy, Piedmont, and parts of Emilia-Romagna and Trentino. This specific product is sold under the private label of Iperal, a regional Italian supermarket chain.

As a DOP product, the cheese is subject to strict regulations and is overseen by the Grana Padano Protection Consortium. This particular wedge was pre-packaged for sale at an Iperal location, as indicated by the store branding on the thermal label. Iperal is an Italian-owned company based in the Valtellina region, operating exclusively within Northern Italy.
