Gorgonzola
Stop 200 of 265 · Italy
One cheese on the loop, with something to drink beside
it, something for the driver, and the road either side.
The cheese
- Drink
- Passito or MoscatoSweet against blue, as ever — but lighter than port, because Gorgonzola dolce is gentler than Stilton.
- Driving
- Pear juiceSweet and delicate; the classic fruit with this cheese.
- Eat with
- Polenta, or walnut bread with honeyWarm polenta under melting dolce is the Lombard way; honey and walnut if it is served cold.
A classic pairing — settled enough that it belongs to the region.
