About Mycella

Mycella is a creamy Danish blue whose recipe is based on Italian Gorgonzola, which is why it’s sometimes called Danish Gorgonzola. The name comes from the Latin word for fungal filaments, mycelium. It’s moist and creamy but still crumbles well. Curious about the Italian original? See The Joys of Gorgonzola.

How to use it

Soft enough to slice, it works on a cheese board, crumbled over salads, or in a sandwich.
