About BLUE CRUMBLED CHEESE, BLUE
Private Selection Blue Crumbled Cheese is a premium crumbled blue cheese product sold under the Private Selection label, The Kroger Co.'s upscale private-label brand available across Kroger banner stores including Ralph's, King Soopers, Fred Meyer, Harris Teeter, and City Market. Crumbled blue cheese is a processed form of whole blue cheese pre-broken into small pieces for convenience in salad and culinary applications.
The ingredient list consists of pasteurized part-skim milk, cheese cultures, salt, enzymes, Penicillium roquefortii, and natamycin as a mold inhibitor. Part-skim milk reduces the fat content compared to whole-milk blue cheese. Cheese cultures are the bacterial starters that initiate fermentation and acid development. Enzymes contribute to protein breakdown and flavor development during aging. Penicillium roquefortii is the characteristic mold inoculated into blue cheese that penetrates through the curd during a process called needling, creating the blue-green veining and the sharp, pungent flavor profile associated with the category. Natamycin is a naturally derived antifungal agent used on the surface and throughout crumbled products to prevent post-packaging mold growth.
This product contains dairy as the primary allergen. Per 100 grams, it provides 357 calories, 25 grams of protein, 3.57 grams of carbohydrates, and 28.57 grams of fat. Calorie density is high, consistent with aged cheeses. High protein content makes this a protein-dense ingredient. The product is suitable for vegetarian diets that include dairy (the enzymes listed are not specified as animal or microbial). Not suitable for vegan or dairy-free diets.
