Blue Cheese Dip
This aromatic, creamy cheese dip originally comes from the USA. There it is made with blue cheese and often served with chopped vegetables as a side dish alongside barbequed meat. Our version uses Gorgonzola to achieve a delicate Italian touch.

Tip
Blue cheese can be used instead of Gorgonzola.
Info
Store the Gorgonzola dip in a suitable box of the FRESH & SAVE vacuum system in the refrigerator. Not only do the cheese flavours remain in the box when vacuum-sealed so perfectly, they are also not transferred to other foods.
