Gorgonzola PDO "Piccante" is a raw-paste cheese produced with unskimmed cow’s milk.

With stronger aromas and flavours, Gorgonzola PDO "Piccante" is more aged than Gorgonzola PDO "Dolce" and, as a result, is firmer, crumblier and more piquant. It is characterised by dark blue veins, called “erborinatura”. These veins are caused by the action of natural moulds, which develop during the ripening of the product (80 days).

Ciresa Gorgonzola PDO "Piccante" has a firm paste and a rough rind. It differs from Gorgonzola PDO "Dolce" for its stronger aroma and an intense, sharp and spicy flavour.

Our Gorgonzola PDO "Piccante" is available in the following formats: 12 Kg Wheels; 6 Kg Half wheel; Slices of 3 Kg, 1.5 Kg or 200 g.
