Made in Italy's Piedmont region and protected by D.O.P. status, Gorgonzola Piccante is the bold, fully matured expression of one of the world's great blue cheeses. Aged longer than its milder counterpart, it develops a firmer, crumbly texture and a pronounced blue veining that delivers complex notes of butter, toasted nuts, earth, and peppery spice. Its rich, lingering finish is balanced by a pleasant creaminess that makes it as elegant as it is assertive.
Enjoy it crumbled over steaks, burgers, risotto, and roasted vegetables, or melt it into creamy pasta sauces and polenta for exceptional depth of flavor. It is equally at home on a cheese board with pears, figs, walnuts, honey, and crusty bread, where its bold character pairs beautifully with sweet accompaniments.
Founded in 1935, IGOR has grown into one of Italy's foremost producers of Gorgonzola D.O.P., combining generations of cheesemaking expertise with the traditions of the Novara region where the cheese originated. Renowned for its unwavering quality and careful aging, IGOR continues to produce authentic Gorgonzola that showcases the rich heritage of one of Italy's most iconic cheeses.
