Gorgonzola Piccante PDO by Castelli is a premium Italian blue cheese known for its rich, robust flavor and creamy texture. This cheese holds the'Protected Designation of Origin' (PDO) status, ensuring that it is produced according to traditional methods in specific regions of Italy.


Made from cow's milk, Gorgonzola Piccante PDO undergoes a meticulous aging process that develops its distinctive, sharp taste and blue-green marbling. The cheese pairs exceptionally well with bold wines and is often used in gourmet dishes to add depth and complexity.
