Hello, I have not made Gorgonzola, so can not help with questions about Gorgonzola itself, sorry!  But, about your cave:  can you put open containers of water in your cave, to increase the RH?  Are you able to close the cave tightly, with little or no ventilation?  That might help.  Or perhaps you have already tried that.

Hi faton.  I haven't done a gorgonzola either, but the most effective "simple" way to raise cave humidity that I know of and have used is a wet towel stretched over one rack like Caldwell recommends.  Water pans work ok but the towel will provide more surface area, kind of like a wick.  A very small fan directed toward the towel helps, but I'm not sure what's available there in Kosovo. Good luck.
