CONSORZIO GRANA PADANO

The Consortium for the Protection of Grana Padano cheese (CTFGP) comprises 129 dairy producers, and 153 affineurs. The Consortium has also authorized 130 companies to package Grana Padano cheese in portions, while 30 have permission to sell it in grated form. 19 companies are authorized to use the PDO for processed products. The Consortium’s headquarters is in San Martino della Battaglia, a town in the Desenzano del Garda area, in the province of Brescia. It is therefore in the very heart of the Grana Padano production, which extends along the Po Valley and includes 32 provinces.
