🧀 Galbani Dolcelatte
Galbani Dolcelatte is Galbani's sweet Gorgonzola PDO made from cow's milk, with a soft straw-white paste, sold pre-packed and at the deli counter.
Galbani Dolcelatte is the sweet Gorgonzola PDO of the Italian brand Galbani. The name means 'sweet milk', which Galbani uses to stress the mild, creamy taste of this cheese.
Gorgonzola is a blue cheese made from pasteurised cow's milk in Lombardy and Piedmont, and its name is protected in the EU as a PDO. The green-blue veins come from Penicillium mould; depending on ripening, Gorgonzola is sweet (dolce) or sharp (piccante). Dolcelatte is the sweet type: its paste is straw-white, soft and almost creamy enough to spread.
Galbani sells Gorgonzola DOP Dolcelatte in pre-packed portions and at the deli counter (Dolcelatte Banco Taglio). The brand's other Gorgonzola is Gim.
Keep it wrapped in the fridge, away from other cheeses.
How to use: with walnuts, pears and honey, in Gorgonzola pasta and risotto, in four-cheese sauce, on pizza and in potato pies.
