Gorgonzola Dolce DOP – Blue Cheese – 12 kg Whole wheel
$599.90
$5.05/100 gr
Gorgonzola dolce DOP cheese is produced in Lombardia and Piedmont.
Its production starts off like most cheeses–rennet is added to milk, which reacts and creates curds and whey. However, to make gorgonzola one extra-special ingredient is added: Penicillium glaucum, a mold! It has a strong taste with robust traces of penicillin.
It is usually paired with full bodied, aged, red wines, sweet and liqueur wines, and rum. Hot Italian fruit chutney, red onion preserves. Celery stalk, rye bread and polenta (a boiled cornmeal).
This is a pre-order cheese and waiting period to receive it is approximately 2 weeks.

Pecorino cheese with black peppercorns is a cheese of long Sicilian tradition. While some say that the original recipe included not just the black peppercorns in the cheeses’ inner core, but the skin was also lined with chopped black pepper – a different processing that allows to flavor the cheese, protecting it at the same time, avoiding the “discomfort” of eating pepper grains.
