How Italian Gorgonzola Cheese Is Made | Regional Eats | Food Insider

The Gorgonzola industry is worth over $800 million. Almost 5 million wheels are produced each year and production is confined to the Italian regions of Piedmont and Lombardy. There are only 29 dairies in the world certified to produce this cheese. We visited Caseificio Si Invernizzi in Trecate, Piedmont, Italy, where between 450 and 500 Gorgonzola wheels are made every day.

Why am I fascinated with the way they stab the cheese, scoop it and leave a hole.

[JafethTheXtreme]

First Parmigiano Reggiano, now Gorgonzola, Ive wonder whats the next cheese in the 3AM Youtube Recomendation list

[billycalifornia]

It just blows my mind how you can let your milk rot into a wheel shape and make such an edible discovery it’s absolutely insane and incredibly fascinating

[wabbit]

I've never really liked blue cheese but seeing how it's made is something else, really gives you a new found perspective on those little white and blue triangles you see littering dairy isles in the supermarket, nice work to the cheese makers and the production team of food insider!

Fungus and germs: (try to make cheese bad)
Cheese: (is better)
Task failed successfully.

Iv'e learned so much about cheese this week

[shotty]

Who was the first person to eat moldy cheese and say “this is good we need some more of this”

[hazelleaf]

The creamy one looks so tempting and delicious 🤤

It's like a medium rare version of a cheese

[failed_K]

I like how cheese came from just some guy who left his milk out for too long and ate it

[Zeronimo]

Fungus : Don't eat this cheese, see this blue thing? It says it's mine

Italians' passion for food standards and traditions reminds me of the Japanese passion for skilled artisans. So much beauty and human spirit that is passed down for centuries.

YouTube, at 12:00 AM: *hEY yOu WANNa KNow hOW TO mAkE CHeeSE?*


Me: ...yes.

[robotontheinternet]

Fungus: Evolves to be a whacky colour and pungent flavour to discourage animals from eating it

Humans: Add it to my rotten milk please!

[youtubejunkie]

Those cheeses look sensational! I love all cheese. I think it's incredible that we can take the same milk and make so many different cheeses with it.

[RS-jblf]

I tried this cheese on pizza and now I just cannot have pizza without it. It is heavenly!

[mutantmaster]

Further proof our ancestors were mad lads for looking at food covered in mold and thought: "eh, if it doesn't kill me", and ate it

My family are all from this part of the Italian Alps. I grew up with polenta with gorgonzola. It's the most amazing flavor ever! The softer on polenta and the firmer with pasta or fruit or salami.

Definitely one of those kind of cheese you learn to love with time. My sister hates it but i started to appreciate its unique taste with time and i love it 😍

[funpuns]

I think I’ve learned how they make every kind of cheese during this quarantine.
