Gorgonzola

Wine Pairings

Preparation, uses, and tips

Gorgonzola’s tangy, strong flavor combines well with the mild flavors of polenta and firm-crusted breads. It is also excellent in salads and dips. Ripe pears, Gorgonzola, and red wine are a classic dessert combination.

Buying and storing tips

Gorgonzola is usually wrapped in foil to keep it moist. Refrigerated and carefully wrapped, it will keep well for several weeks.

Varieties

Sweet or dolce Gorgonzola

This is a semisoft cheese, mild and buttery, with an ivory-yellow color and blue-green marbling.

Aged or naturale Gorgonzola

This cheese is firmer, and more assertive in flavor and aroma.

Mountain Gorgonzola

This variety is aged for 6 to 12 months; the longer aging produces an intense flavor, and a cheese with well-developed veins.
