Description

A soft, blue cheese made with cow s whole milk. Compared to Gorgonzola Dolce, this spicier version has a more consistent and less humid texture; the evenness of the blue moulds characterise it s flavor. It s appearance is pale yellow and crumbly, characterised by a strong presence of greenish veins. According to legend, Gorgonzola was created by a lovesick cheesemaker who, in a haste to meet his lover, forgot the curd overnight only to mix it up the following morning and a new process was born. This method of double pasting has been religiously followed for many years.
