Gorgonzola

Gorgonzola is a type of blue cheese that originates from Italy, specifically the regions of Piedmont and Lombardy. It is made from cow's milk and is known for its distinct blue-green veining, which comes from the mold Penicillium roqueforti introduced during production. Gorgonzola can be creamy or crumbly in texture and varies in flavor from tangy and spicy to mild and sweet, depending on its age. It is commonly used in salads, pasta dishes, and as a topping for meats or bread, making it a versatile ingredient in various culinary applications.
