The Essence of Gorgonzola DOP
Gorgonzola DOP stands as a testament to authentic Italian dairy craftsmanship. Holding a Protected Designation of Origin status, this cheese is manufactured exclusively in northern Italy, in regions known for their rich cheesemaking traditions. The DOP label guarantees that each piece of cheese comes from a specific locale and adheres to strict quality controls.
The Art of Cheese Making
Galbani’s Gorgonzola is crafted using pasteurized whole cow’s milk combined with unique bacterial cultures to achieve its famed blue veins. The production involves a detailed process from pasteurization and curd forming, to molding, salting, and piercing which gives Gorgonzola its characteristic marbling and flavor.
Gorgonzola Dolce is famed for its creamy texture and sweet, mild taste. This version of the cheese ages for a minimum of 50 days, developing a soft consistency that pairs beautifully with light wines and fruits.
Gorgonzola Piccante offers a bolder taste with a crumbly texture—aged for up to three months, it presents a strong, spicy profile complemented by hearty red wines and dark breads.

Gorgonzola DOP invites you on a sensory journey that delights with every bite. The Dolce variant enchants with its milder aroma and creamy sweetness, while Piccante is celebrated for its pungent, earthy tones and robust flavors.
