It is a great cheese and I think the acid from the tomatoes is perfect with it! And the walnuts and Dolce are so wonderful together too! Very delicious one, sister!

This looks wonderful! What's gorgonzola dolce and did you get it at Central Market? (I am in Austin too :-)

Henrykiss Reply

Haha! Yes, I did get it at Central Market! I bought the smallest piece of the simply labeled "gorgonzola dolce" from the Bleu section- I'm not sure of the brand. How fun that you knew where I got it! Thanks :)

oh, i misread your question! gorgonzola dolce is a younger, milder, softer version of aged gorgonzola. it's a great gateway-blue cheese, if you have someone in your life who thinks they don't like blue cheese...
