Made with gently pasteurized cow’s milk, Gorgonzola Cremificato is spreadable, sweet and creamy with a subtle blue bite. A pudding-like texture, and mild blue veining, encase notes of fresh yeast, mushrooms and subtle hints of peppery anise. Use an ice cream scooper and melt it into pasta for an easy, rich sauce or pair with Pralus Chocolatier Milk Chocolate Infernal Bar for a simple dessert.

“Gorgonzola is considered by many to be one of the three kings when it comes to cheese. The rich, flavorful Gorgonzola Cremificato is definitely the king with a sweet tooth. Try it with a sour cherry jam or be an eccentric and stir some into your morning coffee.”

  • Gorgonzola Cremificato features a pudding-like paste punctuated by mildly spicy veining, all contained in a thin, delicate rind.
  • This DOP-certified Italian gorgonzola is made with gently pasteurized morning milk, sourced locally from cows in the Lombardy region of Northern Italy.
  • DOP is short for the Italian Denominazione di Origine Protetta, which translates to “protected designation of origin” and indicates a cheese that meets the highest quality standards following the traditional specifications of how the cheese should be made.
  • Gorgonzola can be made in two different styles: dolce (sweet) or piccante (savory).
  • Gorgonzola Cremificato falls into the former category, and is known for its sweet, creamy texture.

Harder blue cheeses can stay fresh for up to two to three weeks in a crisper drawer when wrapped tightly and unopened, while softer blues may start to dry out after approximately two weeks. The best thing to do is keep the cheese in one of your refrigerator drawers or the vegetable bin; this will help to keep your cheese from drying out. Additionally, we recommend wrapping your blue cheese in aluminum foil. All cheeses and meats are perishables—by definition they degrade over time—so we encourage our customers to enjoy the cheese while it's in peak condition!
