Located in: Cheese, Italy
We are now offering a special three pound cut of this essential Italian cheese!

Stravecchio Oro del Tempo is a superior, 22-month aged Grana Padano produced by Agriform near Venice. This masterpiece compares beautifully with its better-known cousin Parmigiano Reggiano. The flavor of Stravecchio is intense and complex, with fruity overtones that evoke pineapple or strawberry, depending on the season. Like all precious things, every Stravecchio cheese is one of a kind, and each wheel is branded with a unique serial number. Agriform tests the quality of each wheel of Stravecchio every week until the twentieth month of aging. The end result of this rigorous testing process is that only the cheeses that deserve to become prime Grana Padano Stravecchio are stamped with the certificate of origin and guarantee.
  • Made from unpasteurized cow's milk.
  • Wheel is 80 lb. form of cheese.
  • We cut and wrap this item into 3 lb. wedges.
  • Please contact us if you would like to purchase the whole form.

Comments about Grana Padano Stravecchio Oro Del Tempo - 3 Pound Club Cut:

If you are looking for a sharp, bold flavor this is not the one for you. This to me is akin to parmesan but my husband prefers this hands down. Try this on a fresh arugula or spiniach salad, toss in some apples or pears, red onion, nuts a bit of raspberry or balasmic vinaigrette and some shaved grana! Or brush some olive oil on hearty bread and do a grilled tomato and grana sandwich with a touch of fresh basil.
