Gorgonzola Piccante DOP
Gorgonzola Piccante is a bold, full-bodied blue cheese renowned for its strong character. Aged for a minimum of 80 days, this cheese develops a signature intensity and complexity over time, often maturing even longer to enhance its sharp and spicy flavour profile.
Produced exclusively in select regions of Lombardy and Piedmont, Gorgonzola Piccante is protected by the DOP designation. It is made using full-fat, pasteurised cow’s milk and traditional methods that have been passed down for centuries.
The cheese has a compact and crumbly paste that ranges from white to pale yellow, laced with a distinctive network of bluish-green veins that develop naturally during ageing. Its rind is thick, dry and greyish. In terms of taste, Gorgonzola Piccante is anything but subtle. It delivers a bold, penetrating sharpness from the very first bite, followed by an earthy depth and a long, spicy finish. Intense, assertive, and unapologetically piquant—ideal for those who appreciate strong and complex blue cheeses.
For a truly elevated experience, pair it with aged balsamic vinegar, honey, toasted walnuts, or a full-bodied red wine like Barolo or Amarone.
