Gorgonzola Cheese Ball image

Intense flavours abound in this delicious cheese spread - the pungent gorgonzola combined with the delicate anisette of the Sambuca and the crunchy nuttiness of the pine nuts - this begs to be spread on a crisp, juicy wedge of pear or apple! This needs to be refrigerated for atleast 2 hours before serving.
