The authentic expression of the Italian terroir in a creamy, melt-in-the-mouth texture for your gourmet creations. Product description: Gorgonzola DOP Dolce (Protected Designation of Origin) is an iconic Italian blue-veined, unpasteurised cheese, originating from the regions of Lombardy and Piedmont. Presented in an 1/8 wheel (approx. 1.5 kg), this cheese is matured for an average of 50 days, giving it an extremely supple and creamy texture, dotted with characteristic blue-green veins (erborinatura). Delas has selected this cheese for its perfect balance: a mild, appealing flavour with slightly tangy and woody notes, typical of the finest Italian artisanal cheeses. Culinary uses, preparation and storage: This 1.5 kg segment is particularly suited to the needs of chefs and caterers: ► Cheese platters: A must-have for end-of-meal selections, to be served with chestnut honey, walnuts or fresh pears. ► Hot dishes: Its creamy texture makes it an exceptional base for creating rich sauces to accompany gnocchi, polenta or cuts of beef. ► Gourmet snacks: Ideal for topping premium pizzas, risottos or for making gourmet open sandwiches with roasted figs. ► Preparation: For maximum creaminess, remove the cheese from the fridge about 30 minutes before serving so that it regains its natural suppleness. The rind, although traditional, is not usually eaten. ► Storage: Keep chilled at 4°C (+/- 2°C). To preserve its flavours and prevent it from imparting its aroma to other foods, keep it in its original packaging or wrap it carefully in cling film after each use. Location in store: Atelier BOF
