	Diva Brand Parmesan cheeses bring a rich tradition of Italian cheese-making to America. Diva Grana Padano traces its roots to the Cistercian monks, who first began developing this fabulous type of cheese a thousand years ago as a way to store milk. The resulting hard cheese with a granular texture (hence "grana") not only had a wonderful flavor, it retained the nutrients of the milk. Diva Brand Parmigiano Reggiano taps into an equally rich history. It hails from the ancient Italian city of Parma, where Parmesan cheese has been made since the 13th century. Hand-broken curd, linen wrapping, 18-to-24-month aging all make Diva Parmesan cheeses true Italian classics.
