Grana Padano PDO, a special cheese wheel to celebrate Biden’s presidency

A wheel of Grana Padano PDO painted half with the Italian tricolore and half with stars and stripes. This is how the protection Consortium, which represents the most consumed PDO product in the world – over 5 million wheels sold every year (40% of which are for exports) – celebrates the new President elect of the United States of America, Joe Biden.

The wheel that will soon be sent to Washington is a Grana Padano Riserva cheese matured for over 20 months (about 40kg weight), chosen among the 425,566 Riserva wheels branded in 2019. At the moment it is being personalized with the Italian-American colors. “This particular cheese wheel will be sent to the White House as soon as President Biden takes office” – says Stefano Berni, general director of the protection Consortium. “It is a small wish of good luck that we hope will restore the excellent dialogue with the United States. This country has always been very friendly with Grana Padano PDO and high-quality Made in Italy food, and we are bound by admiration and affection” – Berni says.
