Chef's Advice
Piave Vecchio, with its intense flavor and rich texture, pairs wonderfully with full-bodied red wines, which enhance the depth of its flavors. The addition of chestnut honey or a spicy fruit mustard can introduce a sweet-spicy contrast that further enhances the unique characteristics of this cheese. For a complete taste experience, serving Piave Vecchio with fresh fruit such as apples or pears offers a pleasant balance of flavors, while homemade bread, with its crunchy crust and soft interior, is the perfect complement to fully appreciate the texture and flavor of the cheese.

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.
