Legend has it, Gorgonzola was accidentally created in northern Italy when a cheesemaker left his vat open in a rush to meet his lover. The following day he noticed his mistake and added fresh curds to fix his blunder. Months later he observed a bluish mold on the cheese, tasted it, and was pleasantly surprised at the exceptional flavor. As centuries passed, the world has developed its own love affair with Gorgonzola, and all the ways to incorporate it in cuisine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, Gorgonzola is different from other blue cheeses because it\u2019s made exclusively from unskimmed cow\u2019s milk. Once curds are set into molds, makers inject mold strains Penicillium roqueforti <\/em>or Penicillium glaucoma<\/em>, then quickly puncture the cheese with metal rods to create airways for the unique blue veining to grow. To be certified Gorgonzola DOP, the cheese must age for at least 50 days. There are two types of Gorgonzola cheese: the young, mild, and creamy Gorgonzola Dolce DOP, and the older Gorgonzola Piccante DOP, which is piquant, saltier, and slightly spicy. Both are delicious simply drizzled with honey, but these recipes showcase the many ways Gorgonzola can enhance your entertaining menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gorgonzola and Honey Agrodolce<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Agrodolce is an Italian condiment that translates to \u201csour and sweet.\u201d In this version, Gorgonzola and raw honey are whipped together, becoming the focal point of a wintry happy hour spread. Add it to sandwiches or on top of steak for elevated flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
