Gorgonzola Cheese Review
May 4th, '06

Gorgonzola, being a blue cheese, is one of my favorites.

The sample we tried had a very slight "stinky" character, so it might have been past it's prime. But I liked it anyway. As did the cat. Tangy, salty, cheesy, creamy. Enough flavor to really wake up your palate. My wife calls this sort of cheese "wangy". Which I think is a shortening of wow and tangy. I hope that's it anyway.

Now that we have the main three famous blues reviewed, I think I want to do a side by side caparison. Stay tuned for that.

this is why I'm here- Gorgonzola. I bought the Stella brand at the neightborhood Bloom (formerly Food Lion) - really creamy like rich feta, almost no blue. Next I bought a big wedge of Bel Gioso (sp?) at Costco at it's much more blue in veining but as well in flavor.

I know this will go well with grapes apples and pears, good oaky Chardonnay - a little chill on it (the wine, not the cheese)

I've seen Alfredo-like recipes for it as well
