Gorgonzola Piccante DOP – Bold, Aged, and Intensely Flavourful

Gorgonzola Piccante is a traditional Italian blue cheese made in the northern regions of Lombardy and Piedmont. As the more mature counterpart to Gorgonzola Dolce, it undergoes a longer aging process, resulting in a firmer, crumblier texture and a bold, complex flavour profile.

True to its name—Piccante meaning “spicy” in Italian—this cheese delivers a sharp, tangy bite with pronounced blue veining and a lingering intensity. Its flavour is a rich interplay of savoury, sweet, and spicy notes, making it a favourite among blue cheese enthusiasts who appreciate robust, aged character.

The texture becomes more granular as it matures, ideal for crumbling over salads, melting into rich sauces, or pairing with hearty breads and bold accompaniments like pears, grapes, or cured meats. It also shines as a flavourful topping for steaks, burgers, or gourmet pizzas.

Whether used in cooking or featured on a cheese board, Gorgonzola Piccante DOP offers a powerful, unmistakable taste of Italy’s blue cheese heritage.
