Cascina Dedè Società Agricola S.S.

In Borghetto Lodigiano, within the vast Grana Padano protection zone that spans 3,431 municipalities, Cascina Dedè transforms milk from the Lodi area into a single, great denomination. The dairy stands within a farm where irrigated meadows have sustained dairy cows for centuries: it is this forage, even more than technique, that prepares the raw material for the cheese. Here, milk becomes Grana Padano DOP, hard cooked cheese wheels weighing between twenty-four and forty kilograms, matured slowly according to established practices, yet supported by contemporary technologies. The aging process is the time when the Lombard plain concentrates itself into a flake. The company welcomes visitors along the entire journey, from pasture to aged wheel: an opportunity to see how a gesture repeated for generations still upholds the scale of one of Italy's most widespread denominations, and to taste the connection between irrigated meadow and rind.
