Melt Through Winter: Shop Our Coziest Cheeses for the Season
Gorgonzola, Italy’s famous blue cheese, is traditionally made in two styles: this mountain variety, which is a “piccante”-style blue cheese, and a cremificato which is a “dolce”-style blue cheese. Gorgonzola Mountain has an earthy, piquant profile with bright notes of salt and distinct grassy undertones reminiscent of the valley pastures it comes from. Firm and sliceable, this blue is an ideal cooking cheese, lending itself to sauces and pastas. Try serving it up with a sweet white wine and briny snacks like Castelvetrano olives or Pacific Pickle Works Asparagusto.
“This cheese changed my life! It has such a creamy texture, like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. As someone who doesn't love blue cheese, this made me re-think my choices. Melt a little of this on a choice cut of filet mignon for a match made in heaven.”

Harder blue cheeses can stay fresh for up to two to three weeks in a crisper drawer when wrapped tightly and unopened, while softer blues may start to dry out after approximately two weeks. The best thing to do is keep the cheese in one of your refrigerator drawers or the vegetable bin; this will help to keep your cheese from drying out. Additionally, we recommend wrapping your blue cheese in aluminum foil. All cheeses and meats are perishables—by definition they degrade over time—so we encourage our customers to enjoy the cheese while it's in peak condition!
