Biraghi Gorgonzola DOP is the Gorgonzola PDO range of the Biraghi dairy. The wheels are made and aged at the plant in Cavallermaggiore (Cuneo); the province lies within the Gorgonzola area in Piedmont.
Gorgonzola is a blue cheese made from pasteurised cow's milk with veins of Penicillium mould. Biraghi's range includes: Gorgonzola DOP Biraghi, sweet, soft and creamy with no side rind because it is cut from the heart of the wheel (200 g tray made of recycled plastic); Gorgonzola DOP piccante, also in a tub; Erborinato, with more mould; and Grangusto and Selezione Gastronomia for the deli counter.
Keep it in the fridge in a closed pack, away from other cheeses.
How to use: sweet Gorgonzola spread on bread or stirred into pasta and risotto sauces; piccante on a cheese board with pear, walnuts and honey, and with sweet wines.
