Packaging that contains ‘Grana Padano’ PDO cheese meeting the characteristics of the specific type TRENTINGRANA as described above must be characterised by the following image on the packaging and in the corresponding advertising material:
For the packaged products, once compliance with the quality requirements has been verified through the second quality inspection, the following additional categories are applicable: ‘Grana Padano’ RISERVA Oltre 20 Mesi and ‘Grana Padano’ RISERVA Oltre 24 Mesi [more than 24 months].
The specification of the actual ageing is also allowed on the packaging of ‘Grana Padano’ from 12 months onwards.
This specification remains optional, however.
If it is to be added, the ageing must be indicated uniformly on all the packages, using the appropriate numbering, in yellow on black, adding the words ‘Oltre X mesi’ (‘more than X months’).
