This Gorgonzola Dip is great served with chilled raw fennel slices, buffalo wings, chilled raw celery sticks, grissini breadsticks, and grilled chicken. Make it with either piquant Mountain Gorgonzola or creamy, sweet Gorgonzola Dolcelatte. Substituting other bleu cheese such as Roquefort, Maytag Blue, Bleu d' Avergne, Blue Stilton, Cabrales, and Danablu is equally delicious. This isn't a wimpy dip. With it's kick of garlic and cayenne pepper, it is worthy halftime entertainment of any sports event. Double or triple the amount for parties.
