Gorgonzola is a blue dessert cheese originally from the village of the same name near Bergamo.
What does Gorgonzola taste like
Gorgonzola does not have the same strong character as French blue cheeses, and its flavor is rather rough and nutty, but not bright.
Gorgonzola has a creamy, soft, paste-like texture and a distinctly sweet flavor.
Gorgonzola Dolce is a more delicate, pasty, slightly sweet cheese with subtle notes of bitterness and a nutty aftertaste.
Gorgonzola Piccante is a denser cheese with a bright piquant taste and an enveloping spicy aroma of mold.
How is Gorgonzola cheese made
Gorgonzola is made from pasteurized whole cow's milk with the addition of lactic enzymes, rennet and penicillin spores.
After the milk has curdled, the cheese mass is divided into heads and placed on a wire rack to drain the whey. The forms are marked at both ends.
