Trentingrana DOP
Even though it falls within the Grana Padano DOP (Protected Designation of Origin) classification, the cheese produced in the province of Trento (especially the Val di Non area) is distinguished from other cheeses by the “Trentino” brand clearly visible on the rind. It is made using milk from mountain areas (in summer, from pastures at 700-800 meters above sea level), which gives it a distinctive flavor that distinguishes it from similar products.
