  • Gorgonzola is a veined blue cheese, originally from Italy, made from unskimmed cow's milk. It can be buttery and quite salty, with a "bite" from its blue veining. This dolce or "sweet" version of this cheese is a good introduction for anyone who has not tried to make blue cheese before and is also known as Dolcelatte or Cremifacato. It is light on the bite and milder than Gorgonzola Piccante.

Also, each sous vide device has a certain capacity so as not to overtax the heating element. You might find a small enough to fit insulated thing to put the whole apparatus in. Unless for filming this is easier, and easier to replace the sous vide thing if it fails eventually. Great idea..!

    I am italian cheese maker, sir your cheese no look like Gorgonzola....not even similar,(lascia perdere non è un formaggio per te) go on with cheddar it's better.regards
