Gorgonzola Blue Cheese D.O.P, one of the best known Italian cheeses and appreciated in the world, is a blue cheese D.O.P, produced exclusively in Italy with whole cow's milk. As with so many specialties of Italian gastronomic tradition, its origins are confused between legend and reality. According to some historians, the first Gorgonzola was produced between the 9th and 12th centuries on the plains around Milan, in the town of Gorgonzola. Hence the origin of the name of this cheese, Gorgonzola Blue Cheese D.O.P, unique and inimitable for its organoleptic characteristics.
