About CHUNK BLUE CHEESE, CHUNK BLUE
Private Selection Chunk Blue Cheese is a premium cheese product sold under The Kroger Co.'s Private Selection sub-brand, which represents the upscale tier of Kroger's private-label portfolio — analogous to a store-brand premium line available at Kroger, Ralph's, King Soopers, Fred Meyer, and Harris Teeter locations. This product falls into the cheese category and is presented as a chunk-format blue-veined cheese.
The ingredient list is characteristically minimal for a natural cheese: pasteurized part-skim milk, cheese cultures, salt, enzymes, and Penicillium roquefortii. The Penicillium roquefortii mold is the defining microorganism in blue cheese production, responsible for the characteristic blue-green veining, pungent aroma, and sharp, complex flavor. Natamycin, a naturally derived antifungal compound produced by the bacterium Streptomyces natalensis, is added as a mold inhibitor to the exterior surface to prevent unwanted mold growth during storage.
This product contains milk as a major allergen. It is free from wheat, eggs, soy, and tree nuts. It is suitable for vegetarian diets that permit dairy (assuming non-animal rennet, though enzyme source is not specified on the label). It is not suitable for vegan or dairy-free diets.
Per 100 grams, this cheese provides 357 calories, 25 g protein, 3.57 g carbohydrates, and 28.57 g fat. Calorie density is high, typical of full-fat cheeses. Protein content is substantial at 25 g per 100 g. The low carbohydrate content of 3.57 g per 100 g makes it appropriate for low-carbohydrate and ketogenic dietary patterns. Blue cheese is typically used in salad dressings, crumbled over salads and steaks, in dips, and as a component of cheese boards.
