Dolcelatte

Docelatte, with crackers

An Italian blue veined cheese, made from cow’s milk, translates its name from Italian in to ‘sweet milk’ in English.

Dolcelatte is a soft cheese and was created by the Galbani Company and has a registered trademark. It was developed for the British market to provide a mild version of the traditional Italian blue cheese, Gorgonzola. Dolcelatte is milder in regards to the smell and the taste.

The production is similar to the methods used to produce Gorgonzola. One min difference is that it is made from the curd of only one milking and takes around two to three months to produce and age the cheese.

The fat content of Gorgonzola is lower than Dolcelatte, and the taste is comparable to dolceverde and torte gaudenzio cheese.
