The hallmark of genuine Gorgonzola is the wrapping foil marked with the letter “g”.
Gorgonzola is a soft Italian blue cheese. Born in Lombardy in the Middle Ages. According to legend, this cheese appeared due to love passion. A certain cheese maker did not want to leave his beloved in any way. Meanwhile, undercooked cheese awaited him at home. Love won, and the cheese had to wait for the morning. Apparently offended by such inattention to his person, he changed his appearance and became riddled with blue veins of mold.
Until the twentieth century, gorgonzola was known, so to speak, in narrow circles. But at the beginning of the last century, this blue-mold cheese was tasted and loved all over the world. In the 40s, the exact recipe was fully approved, and a little later - the regions that have the right to produce cheese: Novara, Pavia and Milan.
