Caseificio DeFendi Gorgonzola Piccante (DOP)
Caseificio DeFendi's Gorgonzola Piccante comes out of Arzago d'Adda in Lombardia, the heartland of Italian blue. DOP, cow's milk, and aged long enough to earn the piccante side of the Gorgonzola name.
The paste is firm and crumbly through the middle, with a creamier pull as you get closer to the rind. The curd is pierced during aging so the Penicillium roqueforti can breathe through the wheel, which is why the blue veining runs evenly from edge to edge instead of pooling in pockets. Flavor opens buttery and cultured, then the blue kicks in with a confident peppery bite that hangs on the palate well past the swallow. Cavey, mineral, and properly savory.
This is the Gorgonzola for people who already know they like blue. The DeFendi family has been at this since 1925, and the piccante is what they're known for, right in the sweet spot where age, salt, and that signature piccante heat come together.
