Grana Padano 0112 - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Latteria Soresina's Grana Padano scores a perfect 100, reflecting both its strong Italian production identity and its Protected Designation of Origin status. Company headquarters and manufacturing each contribute 35 points, distribution 15, certifications 5, and ingredients 10. Origins are attributed to Italy, and the product carries PDO, Made in Italy, EU Agriculture, and no-lactose labels — a combination that confirms both geographical authenticity and production transparency. The product is sold across Belgium, Germany, and Italy, demonstrating broad European market reach. Within the grana padano category, it ranks at the 88th percentile, outperforming 88% of the 68 products assessed — a strong result that places it among the top performers in a well-populated and competitive category. For a European-minded shopper, the PDO designation is the cornerstone credential: it legally guarantees that the cheese is produced within the defined Po Valley area using methods that comply with the protected specifications for Grana Padano. The Made in Italy label reinforces this, providing additional clarity for shoppers seeking Italian origin assurance. The no-lactose declaration broadens accessibility without diminishing the product's core identity. Latteria Soresina is a cooperative with deep roots in the Lombardy dairy tradition, and the product's score reflects a genuinely European food supply chain with verified quality and origin standards.
