Gorgonzola (an Italian soft blue cheese), has been registered as a PDO since 1996. Cambozola (a
German soft blue cheese) has been registered as a trade mark in Austria since 1983. The Consortium for the protection of Gorgonzola cheese applied to the Commercial Court in Vienna for an order
prohibiting the marketing of cheese in Austria under the name "Cambozola" on the basis that it
amounted to an evocation of "Gorgonzola" and, as such, infringed the Origin Regulation.
Therefore, it is is a mild and creamy, triple crème, blue-veined cheese with a white mold coating produced in Germany.
For best flavor, serve always at room temperature.
