What You Should Know

Alouette Crumbled Feta Cheese (4 oz) is a small, refrigerated specialty cheese you’d spot in the dairy aisle’s specialty-cheese section or by the prepared salads near other crumbled cheeses, goat cheeses, and Mediterranean-style spreads. The clear, resealable plastic tub showcases compact white crumbles that look ready to scatter over a salad or pizza. It fits seamlessly into grocery runs for weeknight dinners, weekend brunches, and game-day platters — shoppers buy it to finish Greek salads, top roasted vegetables, fold into omelets, or sprinkle on tacos and grain bowls. Alouette’s brand positioning leans toward accessible, slightly upscale home cooking: it signals Mediterranean flavor and simple entertaining rather than artisan farmhouse cachet, aimed at adults who cook at home and want quick, flavorful ingredients without specialty-store shopping. The label emphasizes familiar, reassuring claims — “pasteurized,” short ingredient list, and a small note indicating a natural yeast-and-mold inhibitor — but does not carry organic certification or child-focused branding; the package reads as pragmatic and ingredient-forward rather than gimmicky. In plain processing terms, this is a processed dairy product: cultured milk transformed into cheese and kept shelf-stable in short-term refrigerated packaging with anti-clumping and preservative ingredients. Sensory details are straightforward — tangy, salty, crumbly texture that breaks into irregular shards; cool, milky aroma with a bright finish. The ritual of use is quick and tactile: open the tub, fork or spoon out crumbles, and scatter them as a finishing touch that elevates everyday salads and simple Mediterranean-style meals.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

This is a processed food (NOVA 3): it’s made from cultured pasteurized milk with added salt and common cheese additives (cellulose anti-clumping agent, natamycin preservative, enzymes) rather than being an ultraprocessed industrial formulation with many synthetic additives.

Common Questions about Alouette Crumbled Feta Cheese

That depends on what you're looking for! Alouette Feta is relatively low in calories and offers a nice protein boost, making it a decent addition to salads or snacks. However, like any cheese, it's still high in sodium and saturated fat, so moderation is key—especially if you're watching your salt intake.
