I see you like cheese;

Gorgonzola:
X-XII century, produced (I think) for the first time in Gorgonzola (near Milan so Lombardia) and now produced in Novara, Vercelli, Cuneo, Alessandria, Pavia, Milano, Como, Bergamo, Brescia, Cremona.

Parmigiano reggiano: X-XII century; produced in Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, Bologna (Emilia Romagna)

Grana Padano: I don't know the century but it comes from Piemonte, Lombardia (except for Mantova), Emilia Romagna, Veneto e Trentino.

blue?
ehmmmm...
I hope they are not blue...
maybe there's some blue mould on gorgonzola but it seemed green to me last time I had a look into my fridge...

It's called gorgonzola - from the town of Gorgonzola near Milan where it was first made, although I read somewhere that nowadays there is no producer of gorgonzola in Gorgonzola.

I suppose that the expression "blue cheese" means "a cheese with bluish-greenish stripes created by some sort of fungus" - is this right?

This is interesting also: What makes blue cheese blue?

Alfry, just a quick note: il grana non è solo padano, ci sono anche il trentino e il lodigiano.

Blue or actually bleu (meaning, you'd never guess it - - - blue, for its blue veins) cheese is the name of the cheese that resembles Gorgonzola but the country of origin is not Italy.
