Neither Gorgonzola or parmesan cheese are vegetarian. (!!) It is possible to buy "Parmesan like" cheese, in a pre grated format which contains no rennet, but I've never come across a rennet-free Gorgonzola! Unimpressed by Delicious - this recipe should not be in your Veggie section.

my whole family loved it! Perhaps it might not be suitable for small children, though.
