About GORGONZOLA CRUMBLED CHEESE, GORGONZOLA
Private Selection Gorgonzola Crumbled Cheese is a pre-crumbled Italian-style blue cheese sold under The Kroger Co.'s premium Private Selection sub-brand. Gorgonzola is one of Italy's most celebrated blue cheeses, characterized by its distinctive green-blue veining, creamy paste, and bold tangy-pungent flavor profile that ranges from mild (Gorgonzola Dolce) to sharp (Gorgonzola Piccante).
The ingredient list contains pasteurized part-skim milk, cheese cultures, salt, enzymes, Penicillium roqueforti, and natamycin. Penicillium roqueforti is the specific mold culture responsible for the characteristic blue-green veining and the sharp, peppery flavor compounds of all blue cheeses, including Gorgonzola. Natamycin is a natural antifungal agent derived from Streptomyces natalensis bacteria, used to prevent surface mold growth on the cut and crumbled surfaces without affecting the internal mold culture. Natamycin is approved for use in the United States and EU as a food preservative for cheese surfaces.
Note: 'part skim milk' is listed as 'part skin milk' in the database entry, which appears to be a transcription error.
