Grana Padano chunks with orange oil

Ingredients

Preparation

For the chunks, break the Grana Padano cheese using a knife. Set aside the cheese at room temperature until ready to serve. For the orange oil, grate the zest of the orange, avoiding the white pith. Place the olive oil in a pot with the orange zest and heat up gently to infuse for 5 minutes, without boiling. Strain and set aside. For the balsamic reduction, place the vinegar and sugar in a saucepan and cook until it has the consistency of syrup or reaches 110ºC. Assembly Brush the plate with the reduction, arrange the chunks of cheese on top and drizzle over the orange oil. Notes The remaining orange oil can be kept in the fridge and used in desserts or salads. The balsamic reduction can be kept out of the fridge for a long time. Tip You can substitute the balsamic reduction with a shop-bought balsamic cream sauce.
