Gorgonzola DOP piccante 250 gg
A spicy Gorgonzola DOP, aged and cellar-raised, with richer blue veining and a much more intense bouquet of aromas. Extended maturation (which was more common in the past than it is today) makes the cheese firmer and allows the flavors and aromas derived from the penicillin to evolve significantly, developing them into an elegant blend. For lovers of fine cheeses.
