Marbled and marked by greenish-blue veins, il Giardino Gorgonzola cheese is also distinguished by its rich, creamy texture. Its legendary flavor halls all the way back to A.D. 879, when it was first made in the Po Valley near Milan, Italy. Today, cheese lovers stir this soft, earthy blue cheese into risotto and mashed potatoes, or create the perfect pairing with pears, apples, walnuts, cashews and apricots.
