What You Should Know

Black Creek Cheddar Parmesan is a small-format, award-minded cheese block that bridges everyday comfort and approachable specialty. You'd find it in the refrigerated cheese aisle near other semi-firm blocks, shredded blends, and artisanal cheddar and Parmesan offerings—often on an endcap with grating tools, charcuterie accoutrements, and pre-sliced deli cheeses. It suits quick shopping trips for dinner inspiration as well as leisurely weekend visits for cheeseboards: melt it into mac and cheese, shave it over pasta, or brown it in a grilled cheese for an elevated childhood favorite. Brand positioning leans craft-forward and accessible: Black Creek markets this as a creative blend for home cooks who want a bit of restaurant polish without pretension—targeting food-curious millennials and family cooks who shop specialty but expect convenience. The label uses modest health halos rather than overt wellness claims, noting milk from cows not treated with rBST and emphasizing “cultured” and “pasteurized,” but it carries no organic or non-GMO certification and does not use child-focused graphics. In plain processing terms, this is a made cheese product: milk is cultured, pasteurized, and combined with salt and enzymes to form a shelf-chilled block, so it’s processed but not an industrially formulated snack. Sensory details: expect a smooth, creamy mouthfeel with the sharpness of cheddar and nutty crystalline notes from Parmesan; it grates and melts reliably. Packaging is a 7-oz wrapped block with brand label—handy for slicing onto boards or grating into pans. Rituals include ripping a corner for sandwiches, grating over hot pasta, and building a simple yet confident cheeseboard to pair with fruity wine or a good ale.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

The ingredient list is short—cultured pasteurized milk, salt, enzymes—and the product is a made cheese block formed through pasteurization and enzymatic processing, so it fits NOVA group 3 (processed foods) rather than ultra-processed.
