What You Should Know

Bolthouse Farms Chunky Blue Cheese Yogurt Dressing is a 12 fl oz refrigerated dressing that lives in the chilled condiments aisle or near deli salads and refrigerated dips. You'd spot it alongside other yogurt-based dressings, blue cheese dressings, and squeeze-bottle dips—often near packaged crumbled cheeses, prepped salads, and snack platters. It reads as a hybrid between a traditional blue cheese and a lighter, yogurt-forward alternative: a creamy, tangy base studded with visible blue cheese chunks. The bottle is a squeezable plastic jar with a flip-top cap designed for dolloping on wings, wedge salads, or vegetable trays. Bolthouse Farms positions itself as farm-friendly and health-minded, leaning on fresh imagery and simplified claims; here the label highlights "yogurt-based," "gluten free," and "no artificial colors, preservatives, or flavors," tapping into clean-eating and family-friendly marketing that appeals to parents and millennials seeking perceived healthier condiments. The package copy and nutrition snapshot (about 50 calories, 1 g sugar, 280 mg sodium per serving) reinforce a light, controlled indulgence. Label cues create a health halo without organic certification. From a processing perspective it is a formulated product that mixes cultured milks with stabilizers and concentrates to deliver consistent texture and shelf stability. Sensory notes: lush, creamy mouthfeel from yogurt and sour cream, a slightly oily sheen from soybean oil, pronounced salty, piquant blue cheese nuggets, and a mild tang from vinegar and buttermilk. Rituals include shaking, squeezing over salads, using as a dip for buffalo wings, or spreading on sandwiches for a quick flavor upgrade.

Common Questions about Bolthouse Farms Chunky Blue Cheese Yogurt Dressing

Well, 'healthy' can be a bit subjective, right? It's relatively low in calories and sugar, which is great if you're watching those numbers. However, it does contain some processed ingredients and seed oils, so if you're looking for something completely unprocessed, this might not fit the bill. It’s a tasty option for adding flavor without going overboard on calories!
