About BLUE SLICED CHEESE, BLUE
Private Selection Blue Sliced Cheese is a premium blue cheese product in sliced format sold under the Private Selection label of The Kroger Co., available at Kroger, Ralph's, King Soopers, Fred Meyer, Harris Teeter, and City Market stores. Sliced blue cheese is an uncommon format — most blue cheese is sold in wedges or crumbles — suggesting this is a firmer, more compact blue cheese style suited to slicing for sandwiches or burgers.
The ingredient list is concise: pasteurized milk (full-fat, unlike the part-skim version in the crumbled variety), salt, lactic acid culture, Penicillium roqueforti, enzymes, and calcium chloride. Lactic acid culture is the bacterial starter for initial acidification. Penicillium roqueforti is the characteristic blue mold producing the veining and flavor. Enzymes assist with coagulation and proteolysis during aging. Calcium chloride is added to pasteurized milk to restore calcium ions lost during the heating process, which are necessary for proper curd formation. No natamycin is listed, distinguishing this from the crumbled format.
This product contains dairy. Per 100 grams, it provides 393 calories, 17.86 grams of protein, no carbohydrates, and 35.71 grams of fat. The zero carbohydrate value and high fat content reflect the composition of full-fat aged blue cheese, making this suitable for ketogenic and low-carbohydrate diets. Calorie density is high. Not suitable for vegan, dairy-free, or lactose-intolerant consumers, though aged cheeses generally contain very low residual lactose. Suitable for gluten-free diets based on ingredients.
