About BLUE CHEESE
Marketside Blue Cheese is a fresh blue cheese product sold under Walmart's Marketside brand, which covers fresh and artisan-style foods sold in the store's deli and specialty sections. The ingredient list contains four standard cheese components: cultured pasteurized milk, salt, enzymes, and mold. Blue cheese is produced by inoculating the curds with Penicillium species mold (typically Penicillium roqueforti for classic styles), then aging under conditions that allow the blue-green mold to develop throughout the interior. This entry omits specification of the mold species compared to other entries (ID 1728440 and 1947549 specify Penicillium roqueforti explicitly).
Per 100 grams, this cheese provides 357 calories, 21.43 grams of protein, 28.57 grams of fat, and 3.57 grams of carbohydrates. No fiber is recorded. Blue cheese is a high-fat, high-protein food. The fat content is characteristic of a full-fat milk-based cheese. The 3.57 grams of carbohydrates per 100g reflects residual lactose content.
