Product Features

More Information
Description	Blue-veined DOP cheese made from pasteurised whole cow's milk in the hills between Lake Orta and Lake Maggiore
Appearance	The rind is wrinkled and pinkish, the paste is creamy, pale yellow in colour, mottled due to the development of mould with blue-green veins
Taste	Extremely sweet, with lactic and ripe fruit sensations, the marbling makes it captivating and characterful, without being intrusive
Our selection	What makes this Gorgonzola characteristic is the creaminess of the paste, given by a good maturation that generates a higher proteinisation. Tosi's version is matured for more than 2 months, although the Gorgonzola Consortium stipulates a minimum maturation period of 50 days
Suggestions	Irresistible on a slice of warm bread, or spread on crostini with walnuts, or with crunchy celery

The producer

Caseificio Tosi - Gattico (NO) - Piedmont

Why we chose them

Caseificio Tosi has been founded in the '60 by Santino Tosi which used to produce only cheeses for his shop. During the '80 he gets helped by his son Fabrizio and production became more and more oriented to Gorgonzola cheese; maturation cellars came 10 years later. The decisive turnaround happened approximately 10 years ago when also Santino's daughter, Miranda, entered the company. She is now running the business with her brother Fabrizio and her husband Andrea. Caseificio Tosi is one of the smallest producers of Gorgonzola DOP Consortium and still today produces according to tradition: the milk they process originates from Maggiore and Orta lakes area; every day they produce 300 wheels only using hands and man labour; then maturation lasts from 90 to 160 days on wooden shelves.
