Among the Italian excellences our cheeses stand out and Grana Padano PDO occupies a place of honor.
It is produced in thirty-two provinces ofEmilia Romagna with its centenary history this cheese has conquered our palate and our tables declined in an infinite number of recipes and preparations.

This much loved cheese is also recommended by nutritionists in our daily diet, the reason is to be found in his nutritional values.

NUTRITIONAL VALUES

Grana Padano in addition to being a good and tasty food is also a healthy food.
With a portion of 50 gr it provides macro and micronutrients that everyone needs: a considerable concentration of high biological value proteins (leucine, lysine, phenylalanine and tyrosine); the fat I'm for 30% unsaturated (those considered "good"), i carbohydrates they are absent. Vitamins are also present: TO, B1, B2, B6, D, PP and E; it also provides 75% of an adult's daily vitamin requirement with a portion of 50 g B12, particularly important for those who follow a vegetarian diet.

One serving of Grana Padano contains only 54.5 mg of cholesterol. Considering that it is advisable to take a maximum of 201 mg of cholesterol per day, Grana Padano does not impact too much on the total amount.

Even the content of mineral salts it is interesting, the Grana Padano, in fact, contributes iodine (necessary for the functioning of the thyroid), zinc and selenium (antioxidants) magnesium, phosphorus, copper And football (as much as 60% of the recommended daily dose, essential for bones and teeth).

RICH IN CALCIUM AND LACTOSE FREE

Grana Padano is therefore a rich source of football thanks to the high amount of milk needed for its production: 15 liters of milk are required for one kilo of Grana Padano, despite this it is one of the few cheeses that can be also consumed by lactose intolerant, since it does not contain any. What makes Grana Padano PDO lactose-free is not the long aging but it is a consequence of its natural production process strictly defined by the Production Regulations. Grana Padano is therefore a cheese very digestible, also for this reason it is a food suitable for everyone: ai growing children, pregnant and menopausal women, the elderly and sportspeople. It nourishes, gives immediate energy and strengthens the bones.

THE NUTRITIONIST RECOMMENDS

To properly assimilate calcium you should:

– Reduce salt to prevent excess sodium from increasing calcium loss in the urine.

To limit alcoholic beverages because they decrease the absorption of calcium and reduce the activity of the cells that "build bone".

Do not overdo it with foods rich in fiber, the right amount is good, excess reduces the absorption of calcium.

New York Cheesecake: here's one of my favorite desserts. It is a dessert with various steps but extremely simple. However, it is necessary to respect above all the passage in the fridge (essential to compact the base). I find that the combination of cheese, jam and the sour note of berries is really perfect, while the biscuit gives a crunchy texture to the base that completes and enhances this dessert.

Ingredients for 10 people
(for a 20 cm cake pan)

For the biscuit base

  • 200 gr of Digestive biscuits
  • 100 gr of melted butter

For the cream cheese:

  • 600 gr of Philadelphia Classico
  • 100 ml of fresh cream
  • 100 grams of sugar
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 1 yolk
  • juice of half a lemon
  • 1 sachet of vanillin

For the decoration:

  • 2 tablespoons of berry jam
  • 100 gr of berries of your choice

How to make New York Cheesecake

Put the biscuits in the mixer and blend the minimum to obtain a sand effect, pour the chopped biscuit into a bowl together with the melted butter and a pinch of salt. We mix and pour into a hinged pan lined on the bottom with a sheet of parchment paper. Level the chopped biscuit on the bottom well with a spoon and compact it well, making the surface smooth. We put in the fridge for 30 minutes. This will be the crunchy base of our New York Cheesecake.

In the meantime, prepare the cream cheese: in a bowl put the sugar, vanilla, the juice of half a lemon and the eggs, mix with the whisk, then add the Philadelphia cheese, mix and finally pour the fresh cream into the bowl, mix the everything.

We take the pan from the fridge and pour the cream cheese into the pan. Level with a spatula and bake for about 60 minutes at 160 °. To check the cooking we have to move the pan a little: if it vibrates like a pudding then it is not yet completely cooked. If the surface darkens too quickly, just place a sheet of aluminum foil on the grill upstairs

When cooked, let it cool, when it is completely cold, open the hinged pan and finish by decorating with jam and berries.
