This occurs as a result of the combined effect of the temperature and pH established during the production process of the wheel, thanks to natural lactic fermentation, which continues for several hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The outermost part of the cheese gradually becomes rind. It first begins to form around 24 hours after production, completing its development thanks first to the salting of the cheese in brine and then to the subsequent maturing process, which must last a minimum of 9 months. During this time, <strong>the rind hardens to protect the cheese inside<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The wheels are left to mature in dedicated warehouses with <strong>controlled temperature<\/strong> <strong>and humidity<\/strong>. Over the long months of maturing, the wheels are <strong>regularly brushed<\/strong>, cleaned and turned; this not only favours the loss of humidity but also eliminates any surface contamination by moulds present in the environment, which could form on the surface as a result of natural exudation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Hence, during the maturing phase, the Grana Padano PDO rind acts as <strong>a barrier against any external agents<\/strong> which could compromise the cheese.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Once the cheese obtains the Grana Padano PDO fire-brand, it can be sold subsequent to cleaning and, in some cases, transformed into portions, grated cheese, chunks, flakes or other processed products.<br \/>The Grana Padano PDO rind is therefore <strong>an integral part of the cheese<\/strong> and is perfectly edible once the outermost surface <strong>has been carefully cleaned<\/strong>, as with the peel of an apple, for example; indeed, in accordance with the <a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/SpecificationsGBOct2022-50252.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Production Specification Rules<\/a>, the rind does not undergo any chemical treatments and is not covered by any colouring or plastic material.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">As for all non-pre-packaged foods, all those who come into contact with the product at any stage of the sales chain are obliged to implement a HACCP system, in compliance with food industry requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Proper application of the <strong>HACCP<\/strong> system ensures the <strong>food safety<\/strong> and edibility of the rind of Grana Padano PDO cheese.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The <strong>use of the rind of this cheese<\/strong> as a food product is therefore correct, permitted and indeed included among the ingredients in a number of <strong>recipes<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Bibliographical references<\/strong><br \/><span style=\"font-size: small;\">L.
