Gorgonzola is a cow's milk cheese from the regions of Piedmont and Lombardy (Gorgonzola) in Italy. Gorgonzola is one of the world's oldest blue-veined cheeses. By law and by tradition, Gorgonzola is made exclusively with milk from cows raised in Piedmont and Lombardy. Since 1996, Gorgonzola has benefited from the Denomination of Protected Origin (DOP) certification.
At the end of this process, the cheese will have developed its characteristic blue-marbled color and sweet, yet slightly spicy, flavor. Generally it takes three to four months to attain full ripeness. This cheese has crumbly and soft texture with nutty aroma. It can have a mild to sharp taste depending on its age.
Gorgonzola goes well with wines like Bordeaux Blend (Red), Zinfandel and Sauternes.
