What it is

Blue cheese is a type of cheese made from cow's, sheep's, or goat's milk. It is characterized by the addition of specific mold cultures, typically Penicillium roqueforti or Penicillium glaucum, which give it its distinctive blue veins and pungent flavor. The cheese is aged, allowing the molds to develop.

Why it's used

Blue cheese is used as a flavoring ingredient in a variety of savory foods. Its strong, tangy taste makes it a popular addition to dressings, sauces, dips, and as a topping for salads, meats, and appetizers. Manufacturers use it to add a distinct cheesy and pungent flavor profile.

Health notes

Blue cheese is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated cheese and dairy products. While generally safe in typical food amounts, individuals with specific dietary restrictions or sensitivities should consume it in moderation.

Allergen info
