Gorgonzola is one of the world's oldest blue-veined cheeses. Ciresa Gorgonzola PDO "Dolce" is a cow’s milk cheese, with a soft, almost spreadable, creamy consistency.
Its crumbly interior is ivory, mottled with greenish-blue veins (named “erborinatura”) spreading through the cheese. These veins are due to the presence of mould in the cheese, which matures during the ripening of Gorgonzola PDO "Dolce". Gorgonzola PDO "Dolce" is crafted using theold tradition of processing and is cured for an extended period of more than 50 days to obtain its nutty aroma and its mild, creamy flavor with a sweet taste.
Sometimes compared to Brie, Fromager d'Affinois has a white, flossy rind but the interior paste is much more ivory in color. The texture is soft, smooth and yielding, with a tendency to become runny under the rind and remain quite a bit firmer in the center - thereby creating two textures in one.
Flavors are mild and subdued, with notes of salt and a slight hint of mushrooms.
Perfect Pairings:
Pairs well with many wines. However, it goes particularly well with champagne or sparkling wine, since the effervescence cuts the richness of the cheese and cleanses the palate.
