We love our food and drink within our house and what’s better than great tasting food with that extra touch which makes it special.
You can only imagine how pleased I was to get the opportunity to taste and review the amazing Prosciutto di San Daniele & Grana Padano cheese. To be able to tell you about it is a real pleasure.
The great folks behind Prosciutto di San Daniele & Grana Padano have also been generous enough to provide a fabulous prize of a tray of Prosciutto di San Daniele & a large chunk of Grana Padano, this also comes with a special cheese knife. You can see how to enter this competition further down the post.
When the box arrived it looked great and I enjoy unboxing so much, I always take my time when I’m looking forward to something like this.

The Prosciutto di San Daniele and Grana Padano Cheese have been recognised by the European Union as Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) products since 1996. What this means is that they have to respect the strict Production Specifications to achieve the PDO designation. It is only reserved for products that come from a strictly defined geographical area and are produced using distinctive processing techniques steeped in the history and tradition of that place. A PDO logo guarantees high quality, authenticity and traceability.

There are so many great recipes to use Prosciutto di San Daniele and Grana Padano in. For our supper we sat round our table at home and as you can see from the photos above, we enjoyed the food in a simple clean manner which let the flavours come through naturally. We accompanied the meal with fresh tomatoes drizzled with balsamic vinegar and some basil from our windowsill plant and some fresh bread. It was delicious!
I have also devised this recipe which is for our meal this weekend which is here below and I cant wait to serve up…enjoy!
What you will need is:
100g Prosciutto di San Daniele
30g Grana Padano
200g Fresh pasta such as Pappardelle
45g Lightly toasted pine nuts
Olive oil
Saucepan, pasta drainer, large bowl for serving and finally, a good appetite!
This is an amalgamation of the ingredients so cook your preferred pasta until al dente or to your own personal taste. Drain and place in your large serving bowl. Tease out the strips of Prosciutto di San Daniele and gently work through the pasta. Sprinkle over your toasted pine nuts, trickle olive oil over to give a glossy finish and lastly be generous with the Grana Padano cheese. Serve up hot and steaming – Buon Appetito!

It’s absolutely gorgeous on its own but I find that I want to eat far too much of it, so if we use it in pasta everyone gets a little bit and there’s still quite a bit left over for later.
