(based on 9 ratings)

Located in: Cheese, Italy

From Italy's Lombardy region comes the most imitated blue cheese in the world. Many cheeses falsely claim to be gorgonzola, but they always leave you singing the blues. Authentic Italian Gorgonzola comes in two varieties; Dolce - meaning sweet; and Mountain - the sharper and firmer version. Dating back to ancient times, this member of the stracchino family is one of the world's classic cheeses.

Almost spreadable, Gorgonzola Dolce is supple and luxurious with an unmistakable tangy creaminess. Its pale white interior is laced with streaks of blue, giving Gorgonzola Dolce a striking appearance to match its piquant flavor. Enjoy Gorgonzola Dolce as a table cheese; spread thickly on a piece of crusty baguette; or as an ingredient in your favorite salad dressing.

Made from pasteurized cow's milk.

Comments about Gorgonzola Dolce - Pound Cut:

Did not meet expectation in "streaks of blue" as was advertised. Was very creamy and works well inside of burgers, chicken breast, or a wonderfule Mac and Cheese. Have a little more I'm going to put on a pizza..... I may be a little disapointed, but I will use it!

This cheese is a good representation of sweet gorgonzola. I served this as the "blue" cheese in an after dinner cheese course, and it was PERFECT.
