No. One is a sheep cheese and gorgonzola is, well it is gorgonzola.

Edited - no not that clever, some here would even call me preternaturally moronic.

Roquefort is French, made from sheeps' milk and the veins are bluish-green.Gorgonzola is Italian, usually made from cows' milk and the veins are greenish.

Gorgonzola is Italian in origin,whereas roquefort is French and usually made from unpasteurised sheep milk. Roquefort is traditionally aged in caves whereas,most other blue cheeses are done in a humidity controlled environment. I think also, that the penicillin used is different in Roquefort than in other blue cheeses. The penicillin used in the Roquefort cheese is actually found in the soil of the caves from where the cheese is aged.
