  • Processed blue cheese blend and method of formation
    Patent number: 4248897
    Abstract: A method for forming a processed blue cheese in which an aged blue cheese is blended with a current or partially mold-ripened blue cheese and, optionally, cheddar cheese. The blend is pasteurized in molten form. The resulting process blue cheese blend has extended refrigerated shelf-life without the off-flavor normally associated with heated blue cheese. It is particularly suitable for use in a blue cheese-type salad dressing.
