Biraghi Grana Quarter Wheel, 18 Lbs

When you wheel out a Biraghi Grana Quarter Wheel, you aren't just serving cheese; you’re announcing that the party has officially reached "legendary" status. This 20-pound wedge of Italian Grana Padano style excellence is the heavyweight champion of the dairy world.

Made from 100% Italian milk and aged to a crumbly, crystalline perfection, it’s a bulk gourmet cheese that demands respect. Biraghi is famous for its "naturally snackable" quality—it’s slightly sweeter and less aggressive than some of its saltier cousins, making it the perfect "all-day" cheese.

This is the best aged Italian cheese for the host who wants to encourage guests to just grab a knife and start hacking off chunks of pure, umami-rich joy. It’s a structural marvel of the deli world, looking like a jagged mountain of gold. Whether you’re grating it over a mountain of pasta or letting it sit as the centerpiece of a luxury grazing table, this quarter wheel says you take your hospitality seriously, but your fun even more so.

The Recipes

Recipe #1: The "Cheese Bowl" Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe

If you’re feeling adventurous with your friends, use the flat surface of the Biraghi Grana Quarter Wheel as a serving bowl!

Scrape a hollow into the center of the cheese and pour in piping hot, freshly cooked pasta with a splash of starchy water and plenty of cracked black pepper.

Toss the pasta directly against the cheese surface to create a natural, creamy sauce; it’s an interactive dinner party recipe that doubles as dinner theater.

Recipe #2: Grana Padano & Garlic Crust Roasted Chicken

Create a thick paste using finely grated Biraghi Grana, butter, garlic, and herbs.

Slather it under and over the skin of a whole chicken before roasting.

The cheese creates a savory, "shattering" golden crust that the whole family will fight over. It’s a classic roast chicken upgrade that brings deep Italian flavor to your Sunday table.

The Appetizers

Appetizer #1: "The Jagged Edge" Honey Nuggets

Use a traditional almond-shaped cheese knife to pry off irregular, bite-sized nuggets from the Grana wheel.

Arrange them on a platter with a small bowl of chestnut honey or aged balsamic vinegar for dipping.

This simple Italian appetizer highlights the cheese’s crystalline texture and is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

Appetizer #2: Grana Padano Crisps (Frico)

Heap small piles of grated Biraghi cheese onto a baking sheet and bake until they melt into golden, lacy discs.

Let them cool into "chips" and serve with a glass of chilled Prosecco. It’s a gluten-free snack that feels incredibly fancy.
