Lidia with Lou DiPalo from DiPalo

Fine Foods (Little Italy- NYC) and Lou's son Sam DiPalo hold a chunk of the worlds finest cheese.

Grando Padano is still made only with milk from the Po Valley, in Northern Italy, following a traditional recipe first created by the Benedict Monks of 1000 AD. Consumers can choose between 3 different aged profiles. I tried each one and they are all superb.
