What it is

Cheddar and blue cheeses are types of cheese made from cow's milk. Cheddar is a firm cheese, while blue cheese is known for its distinctive blue or green veins and pungent flavor, which comes from the mold Penicillium roqueforti.

Why it's used

These cheeses are often combined to add a rich, savory, and complex flavor to a variety of dishes. They are commonly found in pasta dishes, frozen entrees, soups, dips, and as toppings for snacks like popcorn.

Health notes

Cheddar and blue cheeses are natural food products and are generally recognized as safe by the FDA when consumed as part of a balanced diet. They are sources of protein, calcium, and vitamin B12. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated cheese and dairy products, but specific health claims are not typically associated with these cheese types at normal consumption levels. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.

Allergen info

Cheddar and blue cheeses are derived from milk, which is one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA.
