Dolcelatte is a soft blue cheese from Italy, made with cow's milk. The name means sweet milk, and the taste matches that idea: creamy, mild, and only gently sharp. Blue-green veins run through a pale, spoonable paste. It is made in the manner of Gorgonzola, but it is aimed at people who want a sweeter, less forceful blue. The name is a trade name, and the cheese is sold as a mild Italian blue rather than as a long-aged wheel.
