This one I’ve got to try, does Gorgonzola come in measures, as in strong or mild?

Good question Mike…
I don’t think Gorgonzola comes in different “strengths” per se, but I’m sure the flavors vary from brand to brand.
However, you can also get different combinations of Gorgonzola cheese…
For instance, I’ve bought Borgonzola before for this salad and it works wonderfully…
Borgonzola is a combination of a cheese called Borgo and Gorgonzola. It’s soft and creamy with a “bloomy” rind. That means it ripens from the outside in – like a Brie.
Now, bear in mind that Gorgonzola is a blue cheese, so you could substitute it for any blue cheese and you’ll still be a happy camper.
Hope that helps you a bit more Mike…

This sounds really good. I love Gorgonzola, nice and creamy but with a bite. It would probably go well with Dolcelatte as well, although hard to find in the USA (at least for me).

That would be delicious Tony! I believe it’s a milder version of Gorgonzola.
I often use a cheese called Borgonzola too – accomplishes the same goal!
I hope you try it – I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.
