Gorgonzola Piccante, IGOR D.O.P, 1.5kg

IGOR Gorgonzola Piccante D.O.P represents the boldest expression of Italy’s iconic blue cheese tradition. Crafted under strict D.O.P. regulations, this piccante variety is matured longer than its dolce counterpart, developing intense blue veining and a powerful, lingering flavour. It embodies the craftsmanship of a cheese that has been refined over centuries — rich, spicy, savoury and beautifully assertive. The texture is firm yet creamy, breaking into satisfying shards when sliced while softening luxuriously at room temperature. Its aroma is earthy and full-bodied, a clear indicator of its artisanal heritage and careful ageing.

This cheese is made for those who appreciate strong flavour profiles and depth. Its robust character shines on a cheeseboard, where it anchors pairings of honey, figs, walnuts and cured meats. Melted into risotto, stirred through creamy sauces or used to enrich roasted vegetables, it adds complexity and intensity to every dish. Gorgonzola Piccante is also a favourite for gourmet pizzas, adding a dramatic contrast to sweet or smoky toppings. What sets IGOR’s production apart is their commitment to both tradition and excellence — ensuring every wheel develops its signature strength while maintaining balance. Whether enjoyed simply with crusty bread or incorporated into refined recipes, this cheese is a showcase of Italy’s most expressive dairy craftsmanship.
