What it is

An Italian Cheese Blend is a mixture of various cheeses, often including mozzarella, parmesan, provolone, and romano. These cheeses are typically shredded or diced and combined to create a convenient ingredient for various dishes. The specific blend can vary by manufacturer.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use Italian cheese blends to add a savory, cheesy flavor and texture to foods. They are commonly found in pre-packaged salads, frozen meals, pasta dishes, and baked goods. The blend provides a complex cheese taste without requiring multiple individual cheese ingredients.

Health notes

Italian cheese blends are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as food. They are a source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various cheese components, but specific blends are not typically evaluated as a single entity. As with any food, moderation is advised as part of a balanced diet.

Allergen info

Italian cheese blends are derived from milk, which is one of the FDA's nine major allergens. They are not a source of gluten unless cross-contamination occurs during processing.
