Gorgonzola
Varieties
Sweet or dolce Gorgonzola
This is a semisoft cheese, mild and buttery, with an ivory-yellow color and blue-green marbling.
Aged or naturale Gorgonzola
This cheese is firmer, and more assertive in flavor and aroma.
Mountain Gorgonzola
This variety is aged for 6 to 12 months; the longer aging produces an intense flavor, and a cheese with well-developed veins.
Preparation, Uses, & Tips
Gorgonzola’s tangy, strong flavor combines well with the mild flavors of polenta and firm-crusted breads. It is also excellent in salads and dips. Ripe pears, Gorgonzola, and red wine are a classic dessert combination.
Storing
Gorgonzola is usually wrapped in foil to keep it moist. Refrigerated and carefully wrapped, it will keep well for several weeks.
