Gorgonzola cheese is best stored in the refrigerator, tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or parchment paper, and then placed in an airtight container. This helps prevent it from drying out and absorbing odors from other foods. Gorgonzola can also be frozen, although this may affect its texture, making it more crumbly. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then foil before freezing for up to 2-3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before using.
