                        <td colspan="2">Treasure Cave Gorgonzola, established in 1936 by Felix Frederiksen in Minnesota’s sandstone caves, is America's original cave-aged blue cheese now produced by Saputo Cheese USA in Wisconsin. It undergoes a strict 90-day aging process, using microbial rennet and *Penicillium roqueforti* for its distinctive "sweet finish" flavor, balancing pungency with creaminess. The cheese complies with federal standards, offers gluten-free and keto-friendly nutrition, and is positioned as an accessible gourmet product. Proper storage is critical to avoid spoilage by organisms like *Serratia marcescens*. While the brand's heritage roots in Faribault caves continue in marketing, actual aging in caves ceased decades ago.</td>
