Between food and eros, there is a close link validated now, even by science. It is no coincidence that all over the world, it is at restaurants, preferably by candlelight, that the dance of seduction begins, provided that certain precautions are taken. Dinners rich in fatty foods and fried foods, accompanied by too much wine, are not ideal as they require a more significant digestive effort that causes drowsiness.
But you can also celebrate Valentine’s Day at home by focusing on sophisticated pairings and aphrodisiac foods, such as oysters or saffron pistils. If your partner is a cheese lover, you can make him doubly happy. In fact, according to recent research, among the foods capable of stimulating desire is Gorgonzola Pdo, thanks to certain substances such as phenylethylamine, the same euphorizing substance that the brain produces when falling in love, and tyrosine, which promotes the production of dopamine, essential for desire. Surprisingly, Gorgonzola has something that makes it particularly “lustful”: its unmistakable aroma due to valeric acid, a close relative of a female pheromone.
To intoxicate the senses, therefore, is the taste of Gorgonzola itself and its aroma. And what about the possibility of dipping a finger into its soft, sensual-looking paste? The senses are (almost) all satisfied!
Here is our advice for bringing Gorgonzola Pdo to the table on Valentine’s Day in an all-you-can-share dish:
Please remember that it is crucial to always maintain a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
