  • The crowd-pleasing blue cheese that makes for a
    satisfying salad topping or gourmet pizza
    garnish. A bold tang with distinctive blue vein
    complexity that discerning palates appreciate.
  • Unlike other types of blue cheese, gorgonzola is
    made with cow's milk and uses Penicillium glaucum
    mold for its distinct appearance. It's a rich,
    flavorful addition to any cheese plate and pairs
    well with fruit, honey, nuts and wine.

Crumbles
  • Crumples And Gorgonzola Cheese is a popular blue
    cheese that is used in many different ways. It
    can be eaten alone on crackers or toasted
    crostini, added to salads, melted into sauces for
    pasta or risotto, or crumbled into a pizza for
    the famous quattro formaggi (four-cheese
    pizza).
  • To make gorgonzola, whole pasteurized cows milk
    is combined with penicillium roqueforti cultures,
    enzymes and rennet. The curds are cut into small
    pieces and drained, then aged at low temperatures
    until they develop their trademark blue-green
    mold veining. In some regions, goat or sheeps
    milk is also added to the mix, yielding a sharper
    flavor.
  • Gorgonzola DOP piccantes mild sweetness paired
    with fruit like figs and pears, nuts such as
    walnuts and hazelnuts or honey makes it ideal for
    dessert cheese platters, but its just as at home
    on a mixed cured meat and cheese board where it
    can stand up to the strong flavors of its
    accompaniments. Gorgonzola dolce is also a great
    choice for savory dishes, such as the classic
    grilled steak with gorgonzola sauce.

Gorgonzola Cheese
  • Gorgonzola is a crowd-pleasing cow's milk blue
    cheese known for its iconic blue-green veining
    and crumbly texture. It's easy to add to salads
    and pairs well with figs and pears, but it can
    also be melted in risotto or served alongside
    polenta.
  • It is named after a town in northern Italy and is
    produced throughout the Lombardy region.
    Typically, gorgonzola is made with pasteurized
    cow's milk, but some dairies use unskimmed goat
    or sheep's milk to produce more intense flavor
    profiles. It is aged in extremely humid rooms to
    encourage the growth of Penicillium roqueforti, a
    strain of mold that creates those trademark
    blue-green veins.
  • There are two types of gorgonzola Dolce and
    Piccante. The difference between them is that
    Dolce is softer and easier to work with in
    cooking, while Piccante has a denser texture and
    is better for eating. Both versions of this
    cheese pair well with Pinot Noir and Barolo wines.

Blue Cheese
  • If youre a fan of robust, tangy flavors, chances
    are youve tried blue cheese at some point. Its
    the cheese that gives a Buffalo chicken salad its
    signature flavor and can also be found in a
    Quattro Formaggi pizza. Whether youre new to
    this artisanal favorite or an old pro, there are
    many different varieties of blue cheese to try.
  • The flavor of a blue cheese depends heavily on
    the type of Penicillium mold thats used to
    cultivate it. Most commonly, cheesemakers will
    use penicillium roqueforti but some will also
    experiment with other strains like p. glaucum
    which has a milder flavor.
  • Other factors contribute to a blues flavor and
    texture, such as the milk (cow, sheep or goat),
    what the animals were eating before they were
    milked and the cheesemaking technique. This means
    that every blue cheese has a unique taste and
    flavor.

Cheese Spreads
  • When it comes to cheese spreads, the
    possibilities are limitless. Whether spread on a
    grilled cheese or paired with a slice of fresh
    fruit, these options are a delicious way to
    enhance any meal or snack.
  • One of the best ways to find a good cheese
    supplier is to make sure they carry a variety of
    different types and flavors. This will ensure
    that you have options for your customers, no
    matter what their preferences are and the Dairy
    And Organic Food.
  • For example, if your customers enjoy a savory,
    spicy taste, you can find a supplier that offers
    a variety of cold pack cheeses like cotija. Made
    using cow milk, cotija is typically aged for 100
    days or more to produce a crumbly, flavorful
    cheese.
  • This cheese can be sprinkled over salads, stirred
    into pasta sauces or melted onto burgers and
    steak. It also pairs perfectly with sliced pear
    drizzled with honey or on a whole-grain cracker.
    Another option is a creamy, zesty pimento cheese
    that originated north of the Mason-Dixon line but
    now is as popular in the south as it is anywhere
    else.
