Gorgonzola Piccante 1/8 by Carozzi is a firm, aged blue cheese made from pasteurized cow’s milk, presented as a 1.5kg wedge (one-eighth of a wheel) and sold per kilogram. This spicy version of Gorgonzola is known for its bold flavor and crumbly texture.

Detailed Information
Aged longer than its dolce counterpart, Gorgonzola Piccante has a firmer consistency and a sharper, more pronounced taste. The paste is dense and well-veined with blue mold, delivering strong tangy, salty, and slightly bitter notes. Ideal for strong-flavored cheese boards, bold sauces, or pairing with robust accompaniments like cured meats and full-bodied wines.
