one at the point of production, on each of the flat ends displaying the identification number of the dairy, as taken from the tables distributed by the protection body under delegation from the Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policy, -
the other, to be affixed once the product has acquired the requisite characteristics to be released for consumption, consists of goffered aluminium foil wrapped around the whole cheese, or around the half-cheese after it has been cut horizontally, such that the mark of origin with the identification number of the dairy remains clearly visible on the flat end of the cheese and bearing, on the other side, the goffered identifying mark as a guarantee of the authenticity and traceability of the product.

whole cows' milk from the production area is pasteurised, -
curdling: after pasteurisation, the whole cows' milk is inoculated with milk enzymes and with a suspension of Penicillium spores and selected yeasts; calf rennet is then added at a temperature of 28–36 °C, -
the curd is then put into fasceruoli (perforated cylindrical containers) and the origin mark with the identification number of the dairy is placed on both flat ends, -
the resulting wheel is dry salted over a period of several days at a temperature of 18–24 °C; -
during maturation, the varieties and strains of Penicillium characteristic of «Gorgonzola» develop, giving it its blue-green colour (marbling).
