About Gorgonzola
Gorgonzola is a creamy blue-veined cheese originating from Italy, specifically the Lombardy and Piedmont regions. Made from cow’s milk, its unique flavor and appearance result from the addition of Penicillium mold during the aging process, which creates its characteristic bluish-green veins. Gorgonzola is rich in protein and calcium, supporting muscle health and bone strength, while also providing vitamin B12 and phosphorus. However, it is high in saturated fats and sodium, which should be consumed in moderation, particularly for those managing heart health or high blood pressure. Its distinct tangy and slightly salty taste makes it a standout ingredient in Italian cuisine, often used in pasta dishes, salads, and as a pizza topping. To enjoy its flavors responsibly, pair Gorgonzola with fruits, whole-grain crackers, or use it sparingly to add a bold, savory touch to your meals.
