History and uniqueness

Smooth and spreadable creamy cheese, paste with intermittent veins of blue. Its pale white or yellow interior is laced with streaks of blue, giving Gorgonzola Igorcreme a striking appearance to match its sweet and mild flavour. Gorgonzola Igorcreme cheese was lawfully registered in the list of the DOP (It.Denominazione di Origine Protetta, Eng. Protected Designation of Origin (PDO)). This guarantees that the milk of the cheese and production are on a certain location of Lombardy and Piedmont in Italy. A very strict legislation determines the production standards, the DOP area, where the milk must be gathered and the ageing criteria, certifying the quality and the authenticity of the product.
