Gorgonzola cheese is a creamy, crumbly blue cheese originating from Italy, specifically the Lombardy and Piedmont regions. Made from cow's milk, it develops its distinctive blue-green veins through the addition of Penicillium mold during aging. Gorgonzola has a bold, tangy flavor with varying textures, from soft and creamy (dolce) to firm and pungent (piccante). Rich in calcium, protein, and vitamin B12, it supports bone health and energy production. However, it is high in saturated fat and sodium, so moderation is key. Gorgonzola is versatile in cooking, enhancing salads, pasta, risottos, and spreads with its robust flavor.
