And if that wasn’t enough to fill you up to the brim and satisfy your cheesy taste buds then you could try a cheese board for dessert to finish you off – see you in cheese heaven if so!
One of Italy’s most famous cheeses, Grana Padano is a hard, versatile artisan cheese.
Granted PDO status in 1996, it was created by the Cistercian monks of Chiaravalle in the 12th century and is made throughout the Po Valley region (Lombardy, Piedmont, Trentino and Veneto) in northern Italy.
Made from unpasteurised, semi-skimmed cow’s milk from the production area and aged for a minimum of 9 months, as Grana Padano ages, the flavours become pronounced, savoury and complex and the texture becomes more crumbly.
Launching the new menu with an exclusive celebratory lunch, San Carlo Group’s Managing Director, Marcello Distefano said: “Autumn has arrived, the days are shorter and colder, there’s no better time to eat great, warming food and celebrate one of Italy’s finest ingredients.”
