Stronger than counterfeiting, stronger than duties, Grana Padano PDO cheese is confirmed as the most consumed PDO product in the world. And its production continues to grow. This year up to 5,182,585 wheels were produced with an estimated increase of +5.06% (149,297 more wheels compared to 2018) by the end of 2019. 

Exports, with over 2 million wheels, represent 41% of the total turnover growing by +5.24% on 2018. Germany is confirmed as the leading foreign market with a total of 517,000 wheels. “This growth level is significant considering that in the last ten years the positive trend has exceeded 22.5%, equal to an annual increase of 2% – says the president of Grana Padano PDO Consortium, Nicola Cesare Baldrighi”.
