Grana Padano PDO features a high-value biological protein content, and provides a supply of amino acids beneficial to bodily movement, especially at a muscular level: this makes it highly recommended for sportspeople.
Grana Padano DOP contains milk proteins which have been greatly concentrated, due to the long ageing, and improved from a nutritional viewpoint.

Furthermore, recent important scientific studies have highlighted that 12-month matured Grana Padano PDO is proven to help in the treatment of hypertension, reducing and often normalising blood pressure in subjects with high blood pressure problems.
Grana Padano PDO has been shown to contain various protein fragments - bioactive oligopeptides - that are capable of modulating the physiological functions of the body. Among these, 2 tripeptides, in particular (VPP and IVP), have shown a favourable vasodilator effect (lowering blood pressure), due to the inhibition of a particular enzyme (the angiotensin-converting enzyme). These act in exactly the same way as the more common (and effective) hypertension drugs (the ACE inhibitors).

Carbohydrates

0g
Due to the maturing process, 20% of the proteins are transformed into free amino acids, which facilitate digestion.

Grana Padano PDO cheese can be considered naturally lactose free, since its processing methods and long ageing cause this milk sugar, present in raw milk, to be hydrolysed or in any case removed from the lactic fermentation phase.
Therefore, Grana Padano PDO can be eaten by lactose intolerant people.
