Grana Padano cheese is still the best selling PDO product in the world. Production in 2018 is around 5 million wheels and exports have reached almost 2 million wheels, equal to 40.5% of total production. These figures were presented during the Grana Padano Consortium’s general assembly on 20 September.

“Compliance with the production plan to date has brought about a good balance between production and market demand (which grew by 6.4% in Italy and 7.7% abroad, from January to July 2018 ) – says Nicola Cesare Baldrighi, President of the Grana Padano Consortium –. We approved a new production plan, for 2019-2021, that will reward quality. We have well understood that governing the production on the basis of market trends is essential to avoid devastating effects: all the more so after the end of the EU milk quota system”.
