However, a red flag has been raised, and if there are critical issues, they must be analyzed and understood<\/em>.\u201d According to Mr. Auricchio, therefore, the issue of declining competitiveness among producers is real, and stems from a climate of consumer mistrust, exacerbated by an unstable international situation marked by geopolitical tensions, rising protectionism, and international relations deteriorated by too many conflicts\u2014leading to increased energy costs.\u00a0 <em>\u201cThe blockade of the Strait of Hormuz<\/em>,\u201d Auricchio continues, <em>\u201cshould not be underestimated because it will lead to a potentially uncontrollable rise in energy costs, including in terms of timing. There is a great deal of uncertainty, and this complicates the decisions of entrepreneurs\u2014who are naturally inclined to plan for the long term\u2014and causes anxiety among consumers, who are turning to safe-haven assets like gold<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>No cause for alarm, then, but some reflection is needed. <em>\u201cWe must all act together<\/em>,\u201d concludes Auricchio, <em>\u201cfarmers, producers, consortia, and the political class, to counter this climate of uncertainty and intervene, where possible, to provide concrete support for Made in Italy products.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>EXPORTS BY COUNTRY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Among the top three countries overall for volumes of Gorgonzola Pdo imported in 2025, <strong>France <\/strong>(511,494 wheels, +2.38%) is growing\u2014accounting for about \u00bc of global exports on its own\u2014as is <strong>Spain <\/strong>(175,580 wheels, +3.17%), while exports to <strong>Germany <\/strong>(432,793 wheels, -6.9%), the second-largest foreign market, are plummeting. Gorgonzola exports are also declining to the important <strong>Dutch<\/strong> market (90,737 wheels, -16%) as well as to the main Eastern European countries: <strong>Poland <\/strong>(-1.9%), <strong>Romania <\/strong>(-15.7%), and <strong>Hungary <\/strong>(-7.61%), while the <strong>Latvian<\/strong> market (+153%) and the <strong>Danish<\/strong> market (+25%) recorded strong growth.<\/p>\n<p>Within Europe, the <strong>United Kingdom<\/strong> saw a decline (38,314 wheels; -6.58%), while <strong>Luxembourg<\/strong> grew by 8.8%, becoming the fourth-largest market for Gorgonzola worldwide with 113,952 imported wheels.<\/p>\n<p>In the rest of the world, exports to the <strong>U.S.<\/strong> declined (31,440 wheels; -2.62%), as the U.S. imposed tariffs on EU imports in the second half of 2025, while <strong>Canada\u2019s<\/strong> performance was extremely positive (+113%). In the Far East, strong interest in Gorgonzola Pdo persists among the <strong>Japanese<\/strong>\u2014the vast majority of whom are lactose intolerant\u2014who imported 41,758 wheels in 2025, marking a 2.5% increase. Countries with triple-digit growth in 2025 included <strong>Peru, Kazakhstan<\/strong>, and <strong>Vietnam<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Once served at the table, the \u201cKing of Blue Cheeses\u201d is best paired with wines that are somewhat smooth and savory, or with a beer\u2014preferably a double malt. Belgian Trappist beers or passito wine are ideal for enhancing the unique, spicy, stronger, and more assertive flavor of Gorgonzola Pdo.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":63735,"template":"","class_list":["post-63734","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news-category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
