Gorgonzola Dolce PDO
The Prince of Blue Cheeses
Your kitchen deserves a blue cheese that performs as well as it tastes. Gorgonzola Dolce PDO delivers exactly that: aged just 50-60 days for a consistently creamy, spreadable texture with delicate sweetness and characteristic blue-green Penicillium veins. Versatile enough for risottos, pizzas, and velvety sauces — mild enough to satisfy every guest at the table. LAPA delivers PDO-certified Gorgonzola Dolce to Switzerland in 24-48 hours, in formats sized for professional kitchen use.
