Detailed Information

Gorgonzola DOP (Denominazione di Origine Protetta) is one of Italy’s most beloved blue cheeses, produced exclusively in Lombardy and Piedmont. Cremiziola is a creamy variation, featuring a higher moisture content, resulting in a velvety consistency with mild blue veining. Its sweet and tangy notes balance the earthy intensity of blue mold, making it less pungent than aged Gorgonzola Piccante but equally complex.
