Grana Padano PDO cheese is made in a restric ted geographical area and observing rigorous specifications. The cheese ri pens for a minimum 9-month period during which proteolysis proceeds throug hout highly repeatable pathways\, leading to characteristic peptide and fr ee amino acid profiles in the mature cheese. Consistently\, analytical met hods have been developed to recognize authentic Grana Padano from closely related cheese varieties\, to calculate the actual cheese age and to detec t excess rind in grated cheese. These methods are currently used by “Conso rzio Grana Padano” within its quality control scheme for Grana Padano on t he market.\n\nThe Virtual Seminar Series on Food Authenticity is organized by researchers and students at 51Թand the University of Guelph.\n\nTh e event is virtual and will take place over Zoom.\n\nZoom link\n\nAbout th e speakers\n\nDr. Luisa Pellegrino\n\nDr. Luisa Pellegrino graduated in Ag ricultural Sciences at the State University of Milan in 1981 and joined th e Italian National Research Council in 1983.
