Food & Cooking What Are the Differences Between Parmigiano-Reggiano, Grana Padano, and Pecorino Romano? These three Italian hard cheeses are all fabulous. By Erica Sloan Published on September 2, 2021 Photo: Bryan Gardner Sometimes a recipe calls for pecorino but you only have Parmigiano in your refrigerator.Parmigiano Reggiano, Parmesan and Grana Padano are known in Italy as ' Grana ' cheeses. Grana is a type of hard, mature cheese with a granular texture, most often used for grating. Grana cheeses are typically made in the form of large wheels.
One of the differences between this one and Grana Padano is that it is made in the region of Emilia Romagna, Piedmont, Veneto, Trentino/Alto Adige and Lombardy while Parmigiano Reggiano is made in the region of Bologna, Parma, Mantua, or Modena. It is also aged and has a much sharper flavor than Grana Padano. 2. Different Taste And Consistency
