Gorgonzola Cheese

Gorgonzola Cheese

Everyday

Gorgonzola is a distinctive Italian blue cheese made from cow's milk, characterized by its blue-green veining and protected designation of origin status. This cheese comes in two main varieties: the younger, creamier Dolce and the aged, stronger-flavored Piccante, both featuring a rich, tangy taste profile. The cheese's natural blue mold provides a complex flavor that ranges from mild to sharp, making it a prized ingredient in both cooking and cheese boards.
