Gorgonzola dolce, or dolcelatte, is a creamy, slightly sweet blue cheese. Look for it in specialty shops. If you can't find it, try regular Gorgonzola, which will have a richer flavor.

These pears are so good! I love the combination of flavors and textures. The pears are soft and sweet, the walnuts are crunchy, and the gorgonzola is salty and tangy. I will definitely be making these again.
