Gorgonzola

Parmesan

I'm not a food critic but I know what I like. My relatives serve some of the best meals I have ever had. They always bring out cheese as one of their courses. I've had Parmesan with pear jam before and I thought that was awesome. This trip I had  Parmesan with fig jam along with the best salami.

However my favorite cheese was served on my last two trips. The picture doesn't do it justice. It is a creamy Gorgonzola. What is hard to see in from the picture is that the cheese is so soft it is dripping, not from the heat but the consistency. I asked a friend who owns our local Italian restaurant and he thinks it is called Dolce Gorgonzola. Now I have to find it in Sacramento.
