About BLUE CHEESE WEDGE, BLUE
Good and Gather Blue Cheese Wedge is a whole-format blue cheese product sold in wedge form rather than pre-crumbled, from Target's premium Good and Gather private-label brand. A wedge format allows consumers to crumble or slice the cheese themselves, potentially providing a fresher texture and flavor compared to pre-crumbled versions. Good and Gather's cheese portfolio covers both specialty and commodity dairy formats.
The ingredient list uses the same foundational formula as the premium crumble entries: cultured pasteurized milk, salt, microbial enzymes, and Penicillium roqueforti. The addition of natamycin as a natural mold inhibitor is listed, the same compound used in Market Pantry Blue Cheese Crumbles (entry 1921652), applied here to the wedge exterior to control surface mold growth during refrigerated storage and display. Microbial enzymes (rather than animal rennet) are specified, making this potentially suitable for lacto-vegetarians who avoid animal rennet cheeses. 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. This profile is consistent with the blue cheese crumbles entries using microbial enzymes (entry 1894082), confirming a consistent nutritional composition between the wedge and crumble formats from the same formulation. Suitable for low-carbohydrate and ketogenic dietary approaches. Not appropriate for those with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance.
