gorgonzola
Veined Lombardy cheese
Gorgonzola is an Italian blue cheese, creamy and pungent, with characteristic blue-green veins of mold running through pale yellow paste.
It ranges from mild and soft (dolce) to firm and sharp (piccante).
Named for the town near Milan where it originated: a salad topped with crumbled gorgonzola, gorgonzola sauce for pasta.
