Stracchino di Gorgonzola bianco
Pannarone cheese, also known as Stracchino di Gorgonzola bianco and
Gorgonzola dolce, is a fast-ripening Gorgonzola-type cheese with white
curd but without blue veining. It is made in much the same way as
Gorgonzola except that Pannarone undergoes rapid fermentation for 7 or 8
days at a temperature of 77 to 82 F. before it is placed in the cold room.
It is said to be unsalted, and the curing period is only 15 to 30 days.
Each
cheese weighs between 17 and 22 pounds. (See Gorgonzola.)
