I'm not a big fan of pistachio, but I loved this cheesecake! The gorgonzola flavor was subtle and the crust was perfectly crumbly. I will definitely be making this again.

I had some trouble with the crust. It was a little too crumbly and didn't hold together well. However, the filling was delicious.

This cheesecake was a bit too rich for my taste. The gorgonzola flavor was a bit overpowering. However, the crust was very good.
