I’m using stock images but I am always on the lookout for new cheeses to try whenever I go to the store. Credit to “Taste Atlas” for the cheese image and cheese facts. If any of you know some cheeses that I haven’t done yet I would love some input!
Here is your daily cheese facts: This cousin of Parmigiano Reggiano is well-deserving of its own savory spotlight. Grana Padano shares a similar flavor profile—dry with salty and sweet notes. It too can be grated, but sampling it in generous chunks is just as delicious. “Grana,” which means grain in Italian, is the perfect descriptor for its flaky paste. The straw-colored rind is firm and thick, protecting the cheese while it ages for at least 20 months. Try a classic Italian pairing with Prosciutto di Parma, or savor it with a glass of bold Barolo.
Also as a note: I post my daily cheese here as well as in my r/dailycheese subreddit.

One of my oldest favorites. I personally like it better than Parmigiana Reggiano for snacking, it has a nice buttery undertone which Parmigiana stronger overall flavor tends to diminish. It pairs really well with Granny Smith Apples.

I used to call it “poor man’s Parmigiano” but the price has crept up over the years.
As for new cheeses to highlight, my store had Winston Blue for a couple months. Never saw it again. This was years ago.

It’s a shame that there are very few people who will ever get the chance to taste the first bits that fall off when you crack a wheel of parm or grana. It’s something I really miss about being a cheesemonger.

It took almost 4 years until Grana Padano was shown? I guess we’re never going to run out of cheeses.
