Status: Not recommended
Gorgonzola is classified as not recommended for Histamine Intolerance based on current dietary assessments. Cold cuts, cheese and spreads are often high in fat and salt while also providing protein and – in cheese – calcium. With histamine intolerance, attention is paid to the histamine content and histamine-releasing properties of foods, as the body cannot break down histamine sufficiently. The reasoning given is: blue cheese, strongly fermented, very high in histamine. The assessment is based on conservative experience-based assessments.
