Gorgonzola is one of the world's oldest blue-veined cheeses. The cheese is mainly produced in the northern Italian regions of Piedmont and Lombardy, Gorgonzola. Unskimmed cow's milk is used while preparing the cheese. It has a crumbly and soft texture with a nutty aroma. Gorgonzola can be quite salty, with a "bite" from its blue veining, and can be consumed in many ways.
