Gorgonzola piccante, produced by Nuova Castelli, is a blue cheese known for its strong and robust flavor profile. This cheese is made from cow's milk and undergoes a longer aging process compared to its milder counterpart, Gorgonzola dolce. As a result, it has a firmer texture and a more intense, tangy taste.
The characteristic blue veins are created by the addition of Penicillium glaucum mold, which contributes to its distinctive appearance and flavor. Gorgonzola piccante is often used in cooking to add depth to sauces and dishes, or enjoyed on its own as part of a cheese platter.
