Gorgonzola Dolce

Gorgonzola Dolce is the soft, mild variety among Italian blue-veined cheeses. This cow’s milk cheese from Lombardy and Piedmont carries the DOP designation and is creamy all the way to the rind. You barely slice it; you spoon it: the texture is silky smooth and slowly spreads across the board. In terms of flavor, you’ll taste something salty and creamy, with the characteristic bite of the blue veins running through the cheese.

The aroma is pleasant and not too sharp, which suits the mature yet approachable nature of this Dolce. Let it come to room temperature before serving to bring out the creaminess and aroma at their best. Spoon it over a piece of bread or use it as a soft finish to a meal.
