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

Gorgonzola Piccante IGOR DOP is 1.5kg of Gorgonzola Piccante DOP from IGOR, the aged, intensely flavoured expression of Italy’s most celebrated blue cheese. Gorgonzola Piccante IGOR DOP is the most powerful Italian blue cheese. As a result, extended ageing gives Piccante a firm, dry texture and a pungent, assertive character. Furthermore, at 1.5kg this is the professional kitchen format. In particular, a small amount of Piccante creates an intense blue cheese sauce.

About Gorgonzola Piccante IGOR DOP

We source Italian fresh cheese from specialist producers in Campania, Puglia and Lombardy. In particular, the buffalo herds of the Volturno valley produce the finest mozzarella di bufala in the world. As a result, a genuine DOP mozzarella has a character that no supermarket alternative can replicate. Furthermore, burrata, stracciatella and scamorza each represent a distinct Italian tradition. However, fresh Italian cheese has a short shelf life and is best consumed within 2 to 3 days of delivery. In particular, Parmigiano Reggiano is the foundational Italian hard cheese. Additionally, Gorgonzola DOP from IGOR is one of Italy’s most celebrated blues. That commitment to DOP certification defines every Italian cheese we offer. That is why this product from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cheese lovers.

Why Choose Gorgonzola Piccante IGOR DOP From Us

Using Gorgonzola well rewards understanding the difference between Dolce and Piccante. In contrast to the aged Piccante, Dolce is young, soft and mild. As a result, choose Dolce for spreading and milder preparations and Piccante for sauces and the serious cheese course. Furthermore, a small amount of Gorgonzola melted with cream creates a pasta sauce of outstanding richness. However, Gorgonzola on the cheese board suits serving with honey and walnuts. In particular, the DOP from IGOR guarantees genuine Lombardian or Piedmontese production. Moreover, Gran Riserva is the most aged and most complex expression of the DOP. Additionally, Gorgonzola suits pizza, risotto and polenta as much as the board. That range from Dolce to Gran Riserva defines the full breadth of Italian blue.

How to Serve Gorgonzola Piccante IGOR DOP

To get the very best from it:

• Serve at room temperature on a cheese board with good bread, honey and walnuts.
• Melt into pasta sauces with a little cream for an instant and outstanding Gorgonzola preparation.
• Furthermore, crumble over salads, risotto or grilled polenta where the blue’s intensity lifts the dish.
• Additionally, use as a pizza topping with pear and walnut for the classic combination.

Perfect Pairings

This product pairs beautifully with:

• Honey, walnuts and good bread for the classic blue cheese board.
• Pasta with cream for a quick and outstanding sauce.
• Pear, radicchio or Belgian endive for a bitter-sweet contrast.
• A glass of Barolo, Amarone or a Sauternes alongside.

Storage: Keep refrigerated, wrapped loosely in foil. Furthermore, consume within 5 to 7 days of delivery for the finest flavour. However, always serve at room temperature — remove from the fridge 45 minutes before serving. Delivered chilled and ready to serve.

However you serve it, Gorgonzola Piccante IGOR DOP brings a character that only genuine artisan cheese can deliver. Moreover, great cheese always rewards good bread, the right wine and serving at room temperature.
