Società Cooperativa Croce Grossa

Grana Padano DOP

Società Cooperativa Croce Grossa produces Grana Padano DOP, the monumental hard cheese that defines northern Italy's dairy heritage. Each 24–40 kg wheel emerges from patient aging, its crystalline paste developing in the cooperative's cellars. Slow coagulation and extended maturation transform liquid milk into a cheese equally at home grated over risotto or broken into shards for the table. Within the vast production zone spanning 3,431 municipalities, the cooperative safeguards the meticulous craft that distinguishes Grana Padano from all other cooked-paste cheeses.
