Gorgonzola Dolce DOP

Sweet, creamy and spoonably soft — the gentler side of Gorgonzola.

Gorgonzola Dolce DOP is the mild, creamy expression of Italy’s famous blue cheese. Made from pasteurised cow’s milk, it has a soft, unctuous paste with blue veining and flavours of fresh cream, butter and gentle blue spice.

Origin: Lombardy, Italy
Milk: Pasteurised cow’s milk
Style: Blue
Texture: Soft, creamy and unctuous
Intensity: Mild to medium
Rennet: Animal rennet
Shelf life: Around 7–10 days

The paste is rich and milky, with sour-cream tang, butter and a restrained salty-blue finish. Unlike some triple creams, no extra cream is added: the richness comes from the cheese itself.

Serve at room temperature with pears, walnuts or good bread. It is also excellent stirred through pasta or risotto.

Moscato, Vin Santo and other sweet wines work well. Champagne is a fresher alternative.

Fruit and floral sweetness soften the salty blue spice, while something crisp keeps the pairing balanced.
