The strawberries, sweet and slightly tart, create a combination that enhances the creaminess of the cheese without overpowering it. This combination lends itself very well to serving in a summer chopping board or as an original and tasty end to a meal.<br \/>\nStrawberries are among the world&#8217;s best-loved fruits, a symbol of springtime and rich in antioxidants. Their natural sweetness harmonises perfectly with the savouriness of Grana Padano aged 16-20 months, creating a perfect balance of softness and crunchiness. If you want to make this combination even more intriguing, try adding a few drops of balsamic vinegar or a drizzle of honey for a refined note of contrast.<br \/>\n<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Curiosities<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Strawberries contain ellagic acid, a powerful antioxidant that helps fight cellular ageing.<\/li>\n<li>Contrary to what you might think, strawberries are not actually fruits. Botanically speaking, the fruit is actually the small yellow seeds (achenes) on their surface, while the fleshy red part is an enlarged inflorescence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><div class=\"breadcrumb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.granapadano.it\/en-en\/\">Home<\/a>  <  <\/div>Grana Padano PDO 16-20 monthsFruitGrana Padano PDO 16-20 months and strawberries With a ripening period of over 16 months, Grana Padano acquires more flavour and a crumblier texture.
