Gorgonzola is a blue-veined cheese made from cow’s milk, originating from Italy.

Distributed by Prodilac and produced by Fromagerie Bassi, it is a soft cheese characterized by its marbled blue-green veins.

Detailed Information

Gorgonzola is produced through the controlled introduction of Penicillium cultures, which create its distinctive veining and contribute to its texture and flavor. The pâte is soft and creamy, becoming more spreadable as it matures, with visible blue-green streaks throughout.
The flavor ranges from mild and slightly sweet to more pronounced and tangy depending on maturation. It typically presents notes of cream, butter, and a balanced sharpness, with a lingering savory finish. The cheese is suitable for both table use and culinary applications such as sauces, dressings, and fillings.
