An Elixir of Life

Eating Gorgonzola keeps you young, thanks to a polyamine found in milk, a molecule that is highly beneficial for health, as it is a powerful anti-age substance and improves sleep quality.

A Thousand
Blue Veins

Its distinctive feature is the rich blue-green veining that marbles the firm texture of the cheese. Veining is due to the use of Penicillium and rennet and to the processing and ripening stages – two sensitive steps, when manual skills are crucial.

A Treat for
Gourmands

Gorgonzola is a cheese that is best tasted with pickled fruit mustard or red onion jelly, accompanied by a full-bodied red wine or a sweet fortified one.
