Gorgonzola
Italian cheese origin
Gorgonzola is a blue-veined Italian cheese with a sharp, tangy flavor and creamy texture.
Made from cow's milk and aged in caves, it ranges from mild and soft (dolce) to firm and pungent (piccante).
The cheese appears in salads, pasta sauces, and on cheese boards: crumbled gorgonzola over steak.
