Gorgonzola Crostone with caramelized onions, a delicious Holiday Aperitivo… and just in time for the holiday party season you might be having. And remember, there’s nothing like the real Gorgonzola cheese from Italy. It’s the Italian blue cheese, crumbly, creamy with complex notes that work beautifully with caramelized onions which are finished with balsamic vinegar and brown sugar. It’s one of @davidrocco.baraperitivo best selling Crostone and now you can make it at home. But just makes sure it’s the real gorgonzola from Italy! #Gorgonzola#Extraordinaryitaliancheese
