Firstly, let’s chat a bit about Gorgonzola. This Italian masterpiece of a cheese, which can trace its origin back to the 9th century, is a stunner with its blue veins and sharp character. While most of you might know it from that delightful four-cheese pizza at your local Italian joint, it’s got many more tricks up its sleeve!
From being a star in pasta sauces to adding depth to risottos, and from topping off gnocchi dishes to making red meat dishes sing, Gorgonzola is genuinely versatile. And guess what pairs beautifully with it? Fruits like apple and, oh, the star of our show today, pear!
