What it is
Gorgonzola PDO cheese is a type of Italian blue cheese made from unskimmed cow's milk. It is produced in specific regions of Italy, with 'PDO' indicating its Protected Designation of Origin status. The cheese is characterized by its creamy texture and distinctive blue-green veins, which develop during the aging process.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use Gorgonzola PDO cheese primarily for its rich, pungent flavor, which adds depth to various dishes. It is commonly found in pasta dishes, pizzas, sauces, and salad dressings. It can also be served as a table cheese, often paired with fruits, nuts, or honey.
Health notes
Gorgonzola PDO cheese is a natural dairy product and is generally recognized as safe for consumption. It is a source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients. Regulatory bodies like the FDA do not typically set specific limits for naturally occurring food components like cheese. While cheese is a source of saturated fat and sodium, moderate consumption as part of a balanced diet is generally considered acceptable within dietary guidelines.
Allergen info
Gorgonzola PDO cheese is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
