A Must-Try Cheese: Gorgonzola Dolce

Gorgonzola Dolce is a delicious young blue cow's milk cheese from Italy. Unlike other blues, it's aged for two months and has a delicate, supple yet buttery paste that is mild and slightly sweet in flavor. It has a subtle peppery bite and is a lot less pungent than Gorgonzola Piccante and Roquefort. Gorgonzola Dolce is one of those cheeses that you might fall in love with after one bite. I like to serve it as an after dinner cheese with a dessert wine like Moscato. The wine brings out the natural sweetness of the cheese and is a delightful contrast to the light piquancy of Gorgonzola Dolce. Have an awesome weekend!
