What it is

Semi-soft cheeses are aged for a shorter period than hard cheeses, giving them a higher moisture content and a milder flavor. Blue cheese is a type of semi-soft cheese characterized by its distinctive blue or green veins and pungent flavor, developed from the mold Penicillium roqueforti or Penicillium glaucum.

Why it's used

These cheeses are used to add a rich, savory flavor to a wide variety of dishes. They are commonly found in sauces, dips, salad dressings, and as a topping for pizzas, pastas, and baked goods.

Health notes

Cheese is a source of protein and calcium. Some individuals may be sensitive to the high sodium content found in many cheeses, particularly processed varieties. The FDA considers cheese to be a safe food ingredient. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated cheese and its components.

Allergen info

Cheese is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
