I'm with Steve. You need a lot of flavor for that much cream cheese.

Besides, unless Cambazola is a lot cheaper where you are, you should be
able to find a cheaper substitute. Cambazola is made in Germany, and
you can get generic blue cheese made in the style of Gorgonzola for much
cheaper in the US. Of course, if you are in the EU and get Cambazola
cheap, then if you like the recipe as given, you might consider
substituting more Cambazola for some of the cream cheese for your second
try.
