Just to back up the other post - I have also heard that Gorgonzola is never Vegetarian. I believe it is a protected foodstuff which means that it needs to be made in a certain way to legitimately be called Gorgonzola - in this case it is made with Animal Rennet taken from the stomaches of butchered calfs. The same is true of Parmesan and Gran Padano. Vegetarian Times really should look into this.

This recipe is not vegetarian and it worries me the you are promoting it as such. Gorgonzola, as do most other cheeses, contain animal enzymes, therefore making this recipe and all other recipes you publish that promote the use of 'normal' cheese NOT VEGETARIAN!!!
