Details

Add a luxurious flavor and texture to your offerings with this Gelmini Cinque Stelle DOP piccante Gorgonzola cheese. This authentic DOP Gorgonzola is crafted by third generation cheesemakers located in the countryside of Lombardy, Italy outside of Milan. Using traditional Italian methods, this cheese is made by adding penicillium roqueforti mold spores to the curds, resulting in its iconic, pungent blue veins that are intricately laced into the intense and slightly spicy flavor of the pale white cheese. Made from rBST-free cow's milk and aged for at least 60 days, this Gorgonzola is a staple in Italian cuisine and is perfect for adding flavor, complexity, and creaminess to creamy pastas and pizza.

The bold flavors of piccante Gorgonzola cheese is perfect for creating a memorable cheese board. The cheese is soft, creamy, and slightly crumbly, making it perfect for spreading on crackers or crusty bread or mixing into recipes. Additionally, this cheese is ideally paired with honey, jam, fruit, and toasted nuts to complement the flavor of the cheese and create a cohesive, sweet and spicy spread. Full-bodied red wines can be recommended to your customers alongside this spicy Gorgonzola, with cabernet sauvignon, Amarone, and Barolo as standout options to support its strong, lasting flavor. Try crumbling this Gorgonzola over a flatbread along with caramelized onions, figs, prosciutto, arugula, and a balsamic glaze. Make this authentic Gelmini piccante Gorgonzola a staple on your menu and benefit from the generations of tradition compiled in this pungent cheese!
