What You Should Know

Marie's Super Blue Cheese presents itself as a refrigerated, premium salad-dressing option you’d find on the refrigerated dressings shelf near other artisanal and refrigerated dressings, specialty mayo tubs, and blue cheese crumbles in the deli/dairy perimeter. The 12-oz jar or squeeze bottle sits alongside croutons, steak sauces, and wing sauces, positioned for shoppers looking for an upgrade from shelf-stable bottles. It’s made for occasions that call for bold flavor — game-day wings and dips, weekend wedge salads and brunch spreads, or as a finishing touch on burgers and roasted vegetables. The brand leans into a gourmet, indulgent image: “extra-creamy,” “extra-cheesy,” and made with real blue cheese, appealing to adults who want restaurant-style richness at home rather than parents shopping for kid-branded condiments. Label cues include a “gluten free” claim and phrases like “made with real blue cheese,” while lacking organic certification; it also lists “natural flavor” and familiar dairy ingredients which give a health-halo despite added stabilizers. In plain terms this is an industrially produced, emulsified dressing — it blends refined soybean oil, cultured dairy, egg yolk, vinegar and stabilizers (xanthan gum) so it stores and pours smoothly. Sensory notes: thick, glossy, spoon-coating creaminess dotted with visible blue-cheese crumbles and a sharp, tangy bite; smell is tangy-dairy with savory umami notes. Typical rituals include scooping for veggies, spooning over a crisp iceberg wedge, or spreading on a sandwich — quick, convivial, and built to deliver consistent, bold blue-cheese flavor every time.
