Product Details
Location
Gorgonzola Dolce is made by CasArrigoni, a family-run creamery based in Bergamo, in the Piedmont region of northern Italy. This lush, mountainous area offers cool air, fresh pastures, and a long tradition of artisanal cheesemaking. CasArrigoni has produced high-quality cheeses for generations, using milk from local cows raised in nearby valleys. The region’s natural conditions, along with the creamery’s careful approach, give this cheese its smooth texture and gentle flavour. As a result, every wheel of Gorgonzola Dolce reflects both place and passion.
Tasting
Gorgonzola Dolce is soft, creamy, and deeply indulgent. It features a pale ivory paste laced with delicate blue-green veins. These veins add savoury depth without becoming too strong or spicy. The cheese has a melt-in-your-mouth texture that feels rich but not heavy. Its flavour begins mildly sweet, with notes of fresh cream and a gentle saltiness. As it lingers, soft mushroom-like and buttery tones appear, lifted by the mild tang of the blue mould. Altogether, the taste stays smooth, balanced, and luxuriously mellow. You can serve it with a spoon thanks to its silky, spoonable consistency.
Pairing
Gorgonzola Dolce pairs beautifully with both sweet and savoury foods. Try it with crusty bread, soft crackers, or slices of fresh pear or fig. Then, drizzle it with honey or pair it with walnuts for a classic match. It also works well with cured meats or alongside roasted vegetables. When it comes to drinks, choose a dessert wine like Moscato d’Asti or Sauternes to match its sweetness. For a bolder option, go with a full-bodied red such as Barolo or Amarone. Whether enjoyed as a starter, a dessert, or on a cheeseboard, Gorgonzola Dolce brings a creamy elegance to any occasion.
Recipe
Gorgonzola Dolce can be savoured on a cheese board, spread on crackers, or incorporated into sauces for pasta and risotto. Its versatility enhances a variety of dishes, making each bite a luxurious treat.
