Mondo Italiano Grana Padano

Mondo Italiano Grana Padano is a specifically curated hard cheese product distributed primarily through the German discount retailer Netto Marken-Discount. While Grana Padano itself is a protected designation of origin (PDO) cheese that must be produced in specific regions of Northern Italy according to strict traditional methods, Mondo Italiano serves as a private label brand managed by the EDEKA Group.

The cheese in this packaging is produced and grated in Italy, as evidenced by the PDO seal and the mandatory certification by the Italian Ministry of Agriculture. The brand 'Mondo Italiano' was established to offer a range of Italian-style food products to German consumers, maintaining a balance between authentic regional production and competitive retail pricing. The ultimate ownership lies with the EDEKA Group, Germany's largest supermarket corporation, which uses Netto as its primary discount subsidiary.
