The Gorgonzola DOP piccante by Arrigoni is a blue cheese, soft, made from raw whole cow's milk, named after a town in Lombardy near Milan where it is said to have been born in the 12th century to recover a curd forgotten the previous day.
The spicy version features more pronounced blue/green marbling, a crumblier and drier texture with a more intense flavor due to both the type of molds and the prolonged aging.
