For lovers of bold flavors, Gorgonzola Piccante is the intense, older sibling to the milder "Dolce" version. Aged longer, this DOP blue cheese is firmer, drier, and more crumbly, featuring striking, dense blue-green veining throughout. The flavor is powerful, sharp, and spicy ("piccante" means spicy/hot in Italian), offering a robust and unforgettable blue cheese "bite."

How to Enjoy:
Its intensity needs sweet counterpoints. Serve it at the end of a meal drizzled with thick acacia honey, accompanied by ripe pears, figs, or walnuts. It also adds a powerful kick when crumbled over steak or mixed into gnocchi. Pair with sweet dessert wines like Passito or Vin Santo to balance the spice.
