"Gorgonzola" is both a cheese and the supposed original source of the cheese. The cheese Gorgonzola is a veined Italian "blue" cheese, made from whole cow's and/or goat's milk. The comune of Gorgonzola in the province of Milan, in Lombardy, northern Italy claims to be the the origin of the cheese - reportedly having been producing it since 879 A.D - although some other localities in the region dispute this.

What is the difference between cheese and blue cheese?

Gogonzola is a blue cheese originating from Gorgonzola in the province of Milan in Italy. Real Gorgonzola cheese uses the mold Penicilium glaucum and must be made in the Gorgonzola region. Blue cheese is a generic term that refers to any veined cheese that has had Penicilium mold added. Unless your Gorgonzola came from Gorgonzola, it's not Gorgonzola.
