\nGrana Padano DOP contains milk proteins which have been greatly concentrated, due to the long ageing, and improved from a nutritional viewpoint.<\/p>\n

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.
\nGrana Padano PDO has been shown to contain various protein fragments \u2013 bioactive oligopeptides \u2013 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).

Grana Padano PDO is a safe food, as specific testing has shown that the production process set in the Production Specification Rules guarantees the elimination of any pathogens potentially present in the raw milk used, which might subsequently develop in the cheese. 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.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row module_class=”article_sub_img_text_content” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ module_class=”article_sub_img_wrap” _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#0f0f0f” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”26px” custom_padding=”||50px||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

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, the rind hardens to protect the cheese inside.<\/p>\n

The wheels are left to mature in dedicated warehouses with controlled temperature and humidity. Over the long months of maturing, the wheels are regularly brushed, 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.<\/p>\n

Hence, during the maturing phase, the Grana Padano PDO rind acts as a barrier against any external agents which could compromise the cheese.<\/p>\n

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.
\nThe Grana Padano PDO rind is therefore an integral part of the cheese and is perfectly edible once the outermost surface has been carefully cleaned, as with the peel of an apple, for example; indeed, in accordance with the Production Specification Rules, the rind does not undergo any chemical treatments and is not covered by any colouring or plastic material.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Proper application of the HACCP system ensures the food safety and edibility of the rind of Grana Padano PDO cheese.<\/p>\n

The use of the rind of this cheese as a food product is therefore correct, permitted and indeed included among the ingredients in a number of recipes.<\/p>\n

<\/span>La crosta del Grana Padano DOP \u00e8 quindi parte integrante del formaggio<\/strong> e risulta essere edibile a seguito di una corretta pulitura<\/strong> della parte superficiale, come accade per la buccia di una mela, anche perch\u00e9 essa, come previsto dal Disciplinare di Produzione<\/a>, non \u00e8 sottoposta a trattamenti chimici o ricoperta da colori o materiali plastici.<\/span><\/p>\n

Come per tutti i prodotti alimentari non confezionati i soggetti che ne vengono a contatto durante la filiera di commercializzazione, come previsto per il settore alimentare, hanno l\u2019obbligo di applicare un sistema HACCP<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

La corretta applicazione del sistema HACCP garantisce la sicurezza<\/strong> alimentare<\/strong> e l\u2019edibilit\u00e0 della crosta del formaggio Grana Padano DOP.<\/span><\/p>\n

L\u2019utilizzo a fini alimentari della crosta<\/strong> di questo formaggio risulta pertanto essere corretta, consentita ed addirittura prevista in alcune ricette dove risulta tra gli ingredienti.<\/span><\/p>\n
