Chef's Advice
Its sweet taste, with spicy notes, is excellent paired with full-bodied red wines, a spoon of chestnut honey, spicy fruit mostarda, but also fresh fruit (e.g., apples, Passacrassana pear), and spread on rye bread. Try this cheese with a dark craft beer on a cheese board with jams.

When great-grandfather Luigi Guffanti began aging Gorgonzola in 1876, his genius intuition was the purchase of an abandoned silver mine in Valganna, in the province of Varese. Five generations have passed, the attention to the artisanal quality of the cheese product and the passion for careful ripening continue to characterize the Guffanti-Fiori family, consolidated to this day as one of the best ripeners in the world.
