Gorgonzola Cheese

Gorgonzola is a renowned Italian blue cheese made from cow's milk. It originates from the Gorgonzola region in Northern Italy and is known for its distinctive blue-green marbling caused by the formation of mold during the aging process.

This uncooked straw-white cheese has a rich, creamy, and crumbly texture with a bold, tangy flavor. It can range from mild and buttery to sharp and pungent. The blue veins add a slightly earthy and spicy note.

While Gorgonzola is a type of blue cheese, it has unique characteristics that set it apart from other blue cheeses. It comes from Italy, while blue cheeses can be made in different regions of the world. Gorgonzola tends to be creamier and less salty than other blue cheeses such as Roquefort or Stilton. It also often has a softer, more spreadable texture than other blue cheeses.

Type: semi-soft, blue-veined, artisan
