Gorgonzola is a northern Italian blue cheese made from cow's milk and veined with blue-green mold. It ranges from the young, soft and mild sweet type, which is creamy, to the aged sharp type, which is firmer and pungent. It is spread on bread, melted into sauces and risotto, or crumbled into salads.
