What it is
This is a blend of two distinct types of cheese: Gouda and Blue cheese. Gouda is a semi-hard Dutch cheese made from cow's milk, known for its mild, nutty flavor that sweetens with age. Blue cheese is a general term for cheeses made with cultures of the mold Penicillium, which gives them spots or veins of blue or green mold and a sharp, salty flavor.
Why it's used
This blend is used to add a rich, complex cheese flavor to foods. Manufacturers add it to enhance the taste and aroma of savory dishes. It is commonly found in pasta dishes, risottos, and other prepared meals where a strong cheese profile is desired.

Gouda and blue cheese are natural food products. They are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as food ingredients. These cheeses are sources of protein, calcium, and vitamin B12. As with all foods, excessive consumption may contribute to high intake of saturated fat and sodium.
