Gorgonzola Dolce is for anyone who enjoys blue cheese in a soft, creamy style. This Italian DOP cheese is made from pasteurised whole cow’s milk and, under the official specification, matures for 50 to 150 days. The result is a supple cheese with a milder, lightly piquant blue-veined character.

Take it out of the fridge about half an hour before eating and serve it with bread. Put any nuts, pear or figs separately alongside, so everyone can taste the cheese on its own first. Compare it with Gorgonzola Piccante: the same protected cheese name, but a clearly different mouthfeel and maturation profile.
