Italian AOP Blue Cheese Gorgonzola Piccante Wheel 12kg | Mazzoleni Formaggi
Produced in the Lombardy region of northern Italy, Gorgonzola DOP Piccante is one of Italy’s most iconic blue cheeses. Protected by DOP (Denominazione di Origine Protetta) status, every wheel is produced within its designated geographical area using traditional cheesemaking methods that preserve the authenticity, quality, and heritage of this internationally recognised Italian speciality.
Unlike Gorgonzola Dolce, the Piccante variety is matured for a significantly longer period, allowing the blue mould to develop a firmer, more compact texture and a deeper, more intense flavour. The result is a cheese with pronounced blue veining, rich buttery notes, balanced saltiness, earthy complexity, and a long, elegant finish that appeals to professional chefs, affineurs, and discerning cheese enthusiasts.
Its robust character makes Gorgonzola Piccante exceptionally versatile in professional kitchens. It performs beautifully on premium cheese boards and pairs perfectly with cured meats, artisan breads, walnuts, pears, figs, honey, and full-bodied red wines or sweet dessert wines. It is equally outstanding melted into risottos, pasta sauces, pizzas, gourmet burgers, steaks, and other fine dining applications where a bold blue cheese is required.
Supplied as an approximately 12kg whole wheel, Gorgonzola Piccante is ideally suited to importers, wholesalers, premium supermarkets, department stores, luxury hotels, restaurants, wine bars, and specialist cheese retailers. Whole wheels may also be portioned into half or quarter wheels, providing excellent flexibility for retail and foodservice operations.
