After having a gorgonzola appetizer at Buko Nero, I was lusting after gorgonzola anything much to the protest of my inlactose intolerant belly. Six is the number of pills I have to consume to ensure that I don’t suffer from an erm, upset stomach after having cheese.
I traipsed down to La Fromagerie, which is part of the Saint Julien group. Being a relative newbie to cheese, I asked for well.. gorgonzola and was handed Gongonzola Piccante Extra! That sounds mucho cheeso to me. The cheese whiz (pun intended) offered a taste test which was moot since I was cheese desperate.
$10 later, I bought enough to make at least 8 servings of the appetizer that I had at BN.
Perfect. I made the crostini by brushing it with an extra virgin olive oil and crushed garlic blend. Toasted it for a bit, and cut a slice of heaven.
It wasn’t as creamy as I remembered and it was certainly much more salty. Hmmm. Different variety of gorgonzola? I thought. A quick curious google later, I am better informed. Gonzongola comes in two varieties – piccante and dolce offers a much sweeter and softer texture to the palate.

It was the dolce that I wanted. This was still good, just much too salty for my tastebuds and chockful of fungi. I tried not to look.
Where: La Fromagerie
Address: 5 Mohamed Sultan Road
Damage to pocket: $17 ($10 for the cheese and $7) for a measly rustic baguette which tasted no different from $2 baguette from the local bakery down the street.
