Erborinato and Mascarpone

This is a distinctive, originally household, way of eating sweet Gorgonzola DOP by making it even softer and sweeter through the addition of Mascarpone (obtained by curdling cream with white vinegar and citric acid). Mascarpone is highly perishable and Guffanti’s production of the artisan version (without preservatives) is suspended during the hotter months of the year.
