Meaning "sweet" in Italian, Gorgonzola Dolce DOP is a soft, blue, buttery cheese made with pasteurized cow's milk. The cheese took its name from a small town in Lombardy near Milan, where it is said to have been first produced in the 12th century. Its paste is pale yellow, and buttery smooth, speckled with a generous distribution of blue and green veins. The rind is compact, rough, hard and grey/pinkish in color but not edible. Its flavors are not very strong, but rather sweet and mild with notes of sour cream and lactic tang. It takes a minimum of 45 days aging to let Gorgonzola demonstrate its unique characteristics. The cheese pairs well with a Tuscan Vin Santo and Champagne.
