Gorgonzola Piccante (DOP)

A cheese that is left to age develops a sharper, stronger flavor, and that's also the case with piquant Gorgonzola, the most famous of Lombardy cheeses. Known for its creamy, smooth buttery texture and tangy flavor, blue-veined Gorgonzola gets an added complexity and a sweeter taste, and also a much firmer texture. Pair this pungent blue with a classic Cabernet Sauvignon.

Questions and Answers

Gorgonzola Piccante (DOP) Recipes

A great recipe for when pears are in season, we love how the intensity of the blue cheese is complemented and lightened by sweet and tart pears. Serve it as a light lunch paired with spring greens, or cut into small appetizer-sized pieces for a delicious hors d'ouevre that's easy to make.

This sophisticated appetizer looks so elegant and is so delicious, nobody will believe it takes 30 minutes to make! We took polenta from an uninspired main to an elegant start, coating it in in panko and baking until crunchy and paired with a creamy and intense blue cheese dip.
