What You Should Know

BelGioioso Blue Cheese Crumbled Cup is a small, refrigerated specialty cheese you’ll typically find in the dairy or specialty cheese aisle, often on a shelf near other pre-crumbled cheeses, salad toppings, and refrigerated gourmet cheeses. Packaged in a clear plastic 5-oz cup, it is convenient for single recipes or small households who want the pungent tang of blue cheese without cutting a wedge. This product fits quick shopping trips for a planned salad, last-minute party platter, or a wings-and-dips run for game day; it also appears on lists for weekend brunches and holiday recipes where blue cheese dressing or crumbles are optional extras. BelGioioso positions itself as an artisanal, Italian-inspired cheese brand aimed at shoppers who want a higher-quality specialty cheese without visiting a cheese counter; marketing leans toward authenticity and culinary use rather than kid-focused design. Labels often emphasize short ingredient lists and traditional cheesemaking cues rather than health halos like “low-fat” or organic certification—this product lists simple components (cultured pasteurized milk, salt, enzymes, mold) and is not typically marketed as organic. In processing terms it is a traditionally cultured cheese made from pasteurized milk, salted and aged/handled to develop blue veins. Sensory notes: moist, crumbly curds with a creamy interior, a sharp, saline bite and earthy moldy notes; aroma is tangy and savory. Rituals around use include crumbling onto salads, stirring into dressings, topping steaks or baked potatoes, or blending into dips. The cup format makes portioning and storage straightforward for home cooks and hosts.

Common Questions about Belgioioso Blue Cheese Crumbled Cup

Well, 'healthy' can be a bit of a moving target, right? This blue cheese is high in protein and low in sugar, which is great if you're looking for a tasty way to boost your protein intake. However, it does contain a fair amount of saturated fat and sodium, so moderation is key, especially if you're watching those levels.
