Gogonzola is a blue cheese originating from Gorgonzola in the province of Milan in Italy. Real Gorgonzola cheese uses the mold Penicilium glaucum and must be made in the Gorgonzola region. Blue cheese is a generic term that refers to any veined cheese that has had Penicilium mold added. Unless your Gorgonzola came from Gorgonzola, it's not Gorgonzola.
"Gorgonzola" is both a cheese and the supposed original source of the cheese. The cheese Gorgonzola is a veined Italian "blue" cheese, made from whole cow's and/or goat's milk. The comune of Gorgonzola in the province of Milan, in Lombardy, northern Italy claims to be the the origin of the cheese - reportedly having been producing it since 879 A.D - although some other localities in the region dispute this.
Bleu d'Auvergne - Blue Cheese
Blue cheese is an entire category of cheese including plenty of other cheeses, like Roquefort, Fourme d'Ambert, Point Reyes Blue, Bleu d'Auvergne, and Stilton, to name a few. Gorgonzola is just one type of Italian blue cheese. It's very fashionable in recipes at the moment, but can be substituted with any other blue cheese. It's generally available in a younger, milder, creamier variety (Dolce Latte), and an older, firmer, stronger variety (Aged Gorgonzola).
I think blue cheese originally came from France.
Yes, "Gorgonzola" should be capitalized because it is a proper noun referring to a specific type of cheese named after the town of Gorgonzola in Italy.

You CAN eat Gorgonzola cheese when you are pregnant but it is not recommended that you eat any soft cheeses. I know blue cheeses are high on the do not eat list. I think you can get listeria from eating it which is very dangerous for an unborn baby.
