Milk: Cow
Origin: Italy (Lombardy and Piedmont - DOP Protected)

Igor Gorgonzola Dolce is a classic Italian DOP (Protected Designation of Origin) blue cheese known for its sweet, creamy character and gentle flavor. Made from pasteurized cow's milk in Lombardy and Piedmont, it features delicate blue-green veining throughout its soft, ivory paste. Aged for a shorter period than Piccante (around 2 months), it develops a smooth, spreadable texture with a mild, buttery sweetness and subtle tang. Perfect for those who prefer a gentler introduction to blue cheese.
Culinary uses: Spreads beautifully on bread and crackers, melts into creamy pasta sauces, risottos, or polenta. Excellent on cheese boards and in salads.
Pairs well with:
Pears, figs, honey, walnuts, crusty bread, prosciutto, sweet wines (Moscato d'Asti, late harvest Riesling), full-bodied reds (Barolo, Amarone), Port.
