What it is

Enzyme-modified blue cheese is a flavoring ingredient made from blue cheese. It is produced by using enzymes to break down the fats and proteins in blue cheese, which intensifies its flavor and aroma. This process creates a more potent and consistent cheesy taste.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add enzyme-modified blue cheese to provide a strong, authentic blue cheese flavor in a variety of foods. It is commonly used in savory products like pasta sauces, dips, snack seasonings, and processed cheese products. Its concentrated flavor allows for less cheese to be used while still achieving the desired taste profile.

Health notes

Enzyme-modified blue cheese is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a flavoring. It is not typically associated with adverse health effects when consumed in the amounts found in food. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar cheese flavorings, and EFSA has also reviewed enzyme preparations used in food production. Evidence does not suggest significant health concerns at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Enzyme-modified blue cheese is derived from milk, which is one of the FDA's 9 major allergens. It is not a source of gluten.
