Gorgonzola is an Italian blue cheese made from cow's milk. It has blue-green veins, a creamy to crumbly texture, and a strong, tangy taste. It is formed into large rounds and aged.

It originated near the town of Gorgonzola in northern Italy. Today, it is traditionally made in Lombardy and Piedmont. People eat it with bread or use it in sauces, in risotto, and with pasta.
