Dolcelatte literally translated name means "sweet milk" This cheese is made from cow's milk developed for the British market as an option to famous Italian blue cheese, Gorgonzola. It is also a blue-veined Italian soft cheese sometimes referred to as Gorgonzola Dolce. Its production involves the same process used to make Gorgonzola with a difference that it is made from the curd of only one milking.
The maturation involves about two to three months with a sweet and a bit milder taste. The fat content in Dolcelatte is higher than Gorgonzola at about 50%. Suitable for vegetarians, it is served with grapes, used in a rich pasta sauce, and paired with Rose or Juicy Red, Port wine, and Venetian Merlot wines.
