Tokyo – “Grana’s success in Japan, thanks to the ‘Messe Nagoya’ fair, where 90% of the audience confirmed the popularity of our product, and 2014 export figures, which grew by 5%, highlight the quality of the work of our producers and confirm consumer confidence.” Stefano Berni, Director of the Grana Padano Consortium, commented on the Japanese success of the most consumed PDO cheese in the world. While the export performance for 2014 “is still an estimated and not a definitive figure – continues Berni – we can say that exports soared by 5%, with about 1.5 million of forms sold all over the world. Northern Europe and the United States remain our main destination markets, but there is growing interest in China, New Zealand and even Saudi Arabia. “(9Colonne)
