About ALPINE BLEND THICK CUT SHREDDED CHEESE, ALPINE BLEND

Alpine Blend Thick Cut Shredded Cheese from PRIVATE SELECTION is a premium shredded cheese product under The Kroger Co.'s Private Selection brand, combining two alpine-style cheeses in a thick-cut shred format. Private Selection is positioned as Kroger's specialty and premium store brand tier, targeting consumers seeking imported or specialty cheese profiles at competitive pricing. Alpine cheeses are a category of Swiss and French-origin hard cheeses produced in mountainous regions, characterized by nutty, earthy, and slightly sweet flavor profiles.

The ingredient list consists of Swiss cheese (from pasteurized part-skim milk, cheese cultures, enzymes, and salt) and Gruyere cheese (from pasteurized milk, cheese cultures, salt, and enzymes). Both are natural aged cheeses without artificial flavor or color additions. Potato starch and corn starch, along with dextrose and calcium sulfate, are included as anti-caking agents to prevent clumping in the shredded format. Natamycin, a naturally occurring antifungal compound, is the sole mold inhibitor, with no synthetic preservatives.

Nutritionally, this cheese blend provides 393 calories per 100 grams, 32.14 grams of fat, 25 grams of protein, 3.57 grams of carbohydrates, and no fiber. The fat and protein content are both substantial, typical of aged alpine-style cheeses. Gruyere in particular is known for its rich, complex flavor that develops over extended aging periods.

This product contains milk and is not suitable for those with dairy allergies or vegans. No wheat, eggs, soy, or tree nuts are declared. The thick-cut shred is designed for visible melting and textural presence in fondue, gratins, French onion soup, sandwiches, and cheeseboards.
