    Gorgonzola is a sharp-flavoured, blue-veined, creamy cheese which is named after the Italian village near Milan from where it originates.

    It’s made from unpasteurised cows milk and injected with greenish-blue mould which gives a lovely sharp contrast to the creamy cheese. It’s often found as a dessert cheese and is a cheeseboard favourite. It can also be crumbled onto pasta or risotto and used in salads and dressings.

    Abondance (also called Tomme d’Abondance) is a semi-hard, fragrant raw milk cheese produced in Chablais, Haut-Savoie, in south-eastern France. It’s made from milk from Abondance cows, which is how it got its name. It must be aged for a minimum of three months on specially prepared spruce boards.

    Abondance cheese was granted Appellation d’origine contrôlée (AOC) status in 1990.
