The Story

Gorgonzola, like Roquefort is an ancient cheese. The recipe was developed as a solution to use up excess milk. In the early fall cows would be led down from their Alpine pastures into the valleys of the Lombardy region. They would stop at the town of Gorgonzola to be milked. Gorgonzola Dolce recipes usually call for Penicillium Glaucum, rather than Penicillium Roqueforti. Glaucum is a milder, fruitier mold with a green hue.

Pairing Tips

Gorg Dolce finds affinity with some lighter, effervescent beers such as hefeweissens. Try a fruity Riesling. Slather on crusty bread and drizzle a bit of Italian chestnut honey on top.
