One gorgonzola legend is an example of mistake leading to the invention of a cheese that has become very long-lived. The story claims that an innkeeper in the town of Gorgonzola had too much Stracchino cheese made from the tired or stracca Cows returning to the valleys from mountain pastures that didnt get used up quickly enough. After developing mold on and Throughout the cheese, he questioned whether they were still any good. Unable to absorb the potential loss, he served the Cheese anyway. Coincidentally, the customers liked it so much, they had to increase production and give them time to mold. A More likely history is that the overall production from the stracca cows was too much milk to hold, so it was made into cheese And stored in caves where they would naturally go blue over time. The method still used today starts with producing curd From an evening milking, allowing it to settle overnight and topping it with curd from the morning milking. Cheeses are now Pierced to accelerate the veining referred to as parsley or erborinato of the Penicillium glaucom bacteria. Gorgonzola Bebiverde is a dolce-style cheese, with a wet, fragile rind. It is young and creamy with a relatively mild, sweet flavor. Gorgonzola Piccante is an aged version also referred to as naturale, stagionato or mountain Gorgonzola. It is firm and Crumbly with a dry, thick rind and sharp flavor.
