About BLUE CHEESE, BLUE
Good and Gather Blue Cheese is a whole-format blue cheese product from Target's Good and Gather premium private-label brand, listed as a plain blue cheese without the natamycin mold inhibitor present in the wedge entry (1894081) and without any anti-caking agent. This formulation reflects the most minimal possible blue cheese composition: cultured pasteurized milk, salt, enzymes, and Penicillium roqueforti — nothing else. The absence of natamycin suggests this may be a fresh-cut or freshly packaged format where surface mold inhibition is handled through packaging or storage conditions rather than a surface treatment.
The four-ingredient composition is the cleanest possible formulation for a blue-veined cheese. Penicillium roqueforti is the defining characteristic of blue cheese production globally. The enzymes listed are not further specified as microbial or animal-derived in this entry. Allergen: dairy. No other major allergens are declared.
Nutritionally, 100 grams provides 357 calories, 21.43 grams of protein, 3.57 grams of carbohydrates, 28.57 grams of fat, and no reported fiber — the same macronutrient profile as the comparable wedge and crumble entries using microbial enzymes. This consistency across multiple blue cheese entries at 357 kcal with this macronutrient split reflects the characteristic composition of commercially produced American blue cheese. Suitable for low-carbohydrate and ketogenic diets. Not suitable for dairy allergy sufferers.
