Il Villaggio
A creamy, smooth-textured cheese with a pronounced blue flavor. Traditionally served with unsalted butter on bread, it is also excellent when matched with plums.

IL VILLAGGIO® Gorgonzola Dolce Terrine with Port Wine Fig Sauce

1 lb. Il Villaggio® Gorgonzola Dolce
1/2 lb. unsalted butter
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 lb dried figs, stems removed, diced
2 cups Port wine

Remove all rind from the Gorgonzola and, using the paddle attachment of a stand mixer, combine the cheese and butter together until light and fluffy.
Beat the cream until it is thick but not stiff. Fold the cream into the cheese mixture. Stir in half of the diced figs.
Put the cheese mixture into a 5” x 9” loaf pan lined with plastic. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Bring the Port wine and remainder of the figs to a boil. Reduce the heat and let simmer until wine has reduced to one cup. Purée sauce in a blender and reserve.
When ready to serve, remove the terrine from the mold and serve it sliced on Wheat Crackers and drizzle the sauce around the plate.

Serves: 12
