Gorgonzola is a type of cheese that is made from cow's milk. It is white or yellow in color and has a strong, pungent flavor. The cheese is stocked for a minimum of two months and sometimes up to eight months. Gorgonzola does not need to be refrigerated, but it should be stored in a cool, dry place.  It is best to store Gorgonzola wrapped tightly in plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out. If you refrigerate Gorgonzola, be sure to remove it from the refrigerator at least one hour before serving so that it has time to warm up and soften slightly.
