Taste What Europe Does Best


The producers of Grana Padano PDO cheese and Prosciutto di Parma PDO are at the center of a joint promotional campaign that seeks to raise awareness about these unique European foods among American and Canadian retailers, chefs and consumers.  The program which has been named “Distinctly Deliciously European” emphasizes the importance of quality, authenticity and tradition.

About Grana Padano PDO cheese:

Grana Padano is made in Northern Italy, from raw, semi-skimmed cow’s milk. After 9 months of aging, each wheel is carefully tested for appearance, aroma and texture. Only the best wheels receive the fire-branded logo officially grading them GRANA PADANO PDO cheese.

About Prosciutto di Parma PDO:

Prosciutto di Parma PDO is a 100% natural product and has no additives. Its all-natural aging process creates a variation in flavor profiles and textures, from mild and nutty to mature and full- flavored making it a great addition to pizza, salads and more.

About PDO:

PDO (or the acronym in Italian, DOP) is the European Union’s Protected Designation of Origin certification system. A PDO logo guarantees high quality, authenticity and traceability that ensures certain production specifications.
