Gorgonzola dolce D.O.P.

Sweet gorgonzola cheese: taste the Gorgonzola DOP from Lombardy and find out how it is made.

The Gorgonzola is a blue cheese of short-medium ageing originally produced in Lombardy in the village of Gorgonzola. This cheese was one of the first cheeses to receive the DOP designation. Legend has it that the gorgonzola cheese was created by mistake, when a young man forgot the cheese in the cellar for one day and the next day, to make up for his mistake, he added some fresh curd. He tasted the cheese and its flavour was incredible, so he decided to reproduce it. The sweet gorgonzola is aged for maximum 50 days, it shows a soft texture with its typical blue colour given by the Penicillium mould. Made with cow's milk, the Gorgonzola is rich in flavour and a unique cheese.

How it's made	The Gorgonzola cheese DOP is characterised by the addition of Peniccilium and milk enzymes in the pastorized milk, obtained from the milking of the night before. The curd, made by adding calf rennet, is cut in small parts. The cheese is drained and then it gets into its typical shape. Afterwards dry salting with brine takes place and ageing can start in specific rooms. Back in the days, ageing took place in caves.
