Gorgonzola DOP dolce

"The 'younger brother' of the traditional Gorgonzola PDO, now called Piccante, Gorgonzola PDO Dolce was born in the mid-20th century and soon became the version best known to consumers. Technically, the main difference from Piccante is the higher whey content, which makes the paste softer, even spreadable, and the taste more delicate. Because of this very characteristic, it cannot withstand long ripening periods, characterising itself as a semi-fresh cow's milk cheese.
