What You Should Know

Marie's Blue Cheese Dressing arrives in a large refrigerated bottle as a value-size staple for shoppers who want a bold, creamy condiment without the shelf-stable trade-offs. You'd find it in the refrigerated salad dressing section beside other chilled dressings, near pre-washed salad mixes, croutons, and the deli cheese case — often in endcap promotions around game-day foods. It reads like a signature, slightly upscale brand: marketed to adults and families who enjoy classic American flavors and want a restaurant-style experience at home. The label emphasizes indulgence and convenience rather than organic certification; packaging calls out gluten-free and highlights real blue cheese crumbles and buttermilk, leaning into a “crafted” image rather than kid-focused or natural/organic claims. In plain processing terms it’s a made condiment that blends refined oil, cultured dairy, egg yolks and a texturizing agent to deliver a consistent product — a prepared dressing rather than a home emulsion. Sensory-wise the dressing is thick, velvety and clingy, with visible blue cheese flecks and a tangy, savory bite; the 25 fl oz plastic bottle with a pour or flip cap suits drizzling over wedge salads, dunking buffalo wings, or spooning onto burgers during casual entertaining. Rituals: a family grabbing the bottle for Sunday football, a host using it to finish a steakhouse-style wedge, or a weeknight cook adding a creamy hit to sandwiches. It occupies the cultural space of affordable indulgence — familiar, bold, and designed for convenience and shareable moments.

Common Questions about Marie's Blue Cheese Dressing

Well, that really depends on your definition of healthy! It packs a decent amount of flavor, thanks to the blue cheese and garlic, but it’s also relatively high in fat—mostly from soybean oil and sour cream. If you’re using it as a treat to enhance your salads or veggies, it can definitely fit into a balanced diet!
