The same as other blue-veined cheeses, Gorgonzola was originally aged in caves and the blue mold veins developed from spores naturally present in caves. Today mold spores are mixed right into the curd during the cheesemaking process in order to maintain Gorgonzola's technical production standards.

Gorgonzola is produced in the provinces of Novara, Vercelli, Cuneo and in the town of Casale Monferrato in Piedmont as well as in the provinces of Bergamo, Brescia, Como, Cremona, Milan and Pavia in the region of Lombardy.

In 1996 the cheese was certified as DOP (Denomination of Protected Origin).
