Gorgonzola
A territorial tradition
This delicious Italian blue cheese was named after the city of Gorgonzola, near Milano, where it was born in 879 A.D.
Only a few provinces of Lombardy and Piedmont regions, by law and tradition, are home to the production of Gorgonzola cheese. It means that only the milk from the farms of these provinces can be used to produce and then give the protected designation of origin (D.O.P.) to the gorgonzola cheese.
