When you taste Gorgonzola Pdo, you immediately appreciate its goodness, but not everyone knows that its nutritional properties make it a special ally for recharging you with energy and good mood, along with a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
It is a source of vitamins A, B2, B6 and B12, which contribute to normal nervous and immune system function and red blood cell formation. It is rich in bioavailable calcium, a crucial element for normal muscle function and for maintaining healthy teeth and bones. It also provides an appreciable percentage of phosphorus, which is essential for supporting energy metabolism and the normal function of cell membranes.
What’s more, Gorgonzola Pdo is among those foods that science calls “mood-foods,” that is, capable of positively affecting mental well-being as they are rich in tryptophan, an amino acid involved in the synthesis of serotonin, also known as the “happiness hormone,” and melatonin capable of modulating the sleep-wake rhythm. Add to this the fact that Gorgonzola Pdo is naturally lactose-free (less than 0.1g/100g, a direct consequence of the typical production process. It contains galactose) and is also among the most digestible cheeses, thanks to the proteolytic activity of its Penicillium, then the restart has never been so…. good!
Here are some suggestions for pairing Gorgonzola Pdo with seasonal ingredients and bringing flavor and energy to the table.
1. Borscht with beets and spicy Gorgonzola
2. Linguine with creamed broccoli
3. Tuna tartare
4. Stuffed mushrooms with Gorgonzola Pdo
