Gorgonzola Piccante DOP 150 gr packaging – 8 pcs x case – 1.2 kg box

The latter version of the gorgonzola artisan cheese is soft and creamy, while the traditional version, Gorgonzola Piccante has a firmer past with less serum content. This is due to a longer ‘baking’ period given to the piccante variety.
This is a pre-order cheese and waiting period to receive it is approximately 2 weeks.
The traditional Italian blue cheese, Gorgonzola Piccante DOP is made from pasteurized cow’s milk.
As its left to age, this variety of Gorgonzola acquires a stronger, more pungent flavour than Gorgonzola Dolce.
Much firmer in texture, Gorgonzola Piccante can be used in cooking, eaten alone, or enjoyed with a glass of wine.
Aged for a minimum of 90 days, its aroma is characterized by the natural microclimate of the seasoning caves.
