What You Should Know

BelGioioso Gorgonzola Crumbled Cups (5 oz) are a small-format, specialty cheese offering you’ll typically find in the refrigerated cheese or deli aisle, often shelved near other crumbled cheeses (feta, blue, goat) and next to ready-to-serve charcuterie items and salad toppers. The product is pitched as a premium, Italian-style ingredient for home cooks and hosts: short ingredient list (cultured pasteurized cow and sheep’s milk, salt, enzymes, mold) and clear labeling give it an artisan, calmly sophisticated aura. You’re likely to grab a cup on a grocery run for a weekend brunch, a last-minute appetizer when entertaining, or to finish a salad, steak, or pasta. BelGioioso’s brand positioning leans into Old World cheesemaking traditions while being approachable—targeting food-forward shoppers, home entertainers, and those who want a gourmet touch without buying a whole wedge. The packaging—a single-use plastic cup with a peelable lid—signals convenience and portion control; the crumbled format removes the need for cutting or crumbling at home. Sensory notes: cool, creamy and slightly crumbly with a pronounced tang and moldy, earthy blue-vein aroma that cuts through rich dishes. Rituals around use are simple and social: sprinkle over a mixed greens salad, fold into a warm dip, or dot on a pizza or charcuterie board. Label characteristics create a “natural” health halo through short ingredient names and the word “cultured”; there is no kid-focused branding or organic certification visible. Processing context: made from pasteurized milk and fermented cultures—this is a processed cheese product produced with traditional aging and moulding steps, not an ultraprocessed snack. Nutritional highlights on the pack list 100 calories and about 340 mg sodium per 5 oz cup.
