Organic Valley Family of Farms now offers two new cheese crumbles in two of America's most popular cheese flavors, Blue Cheese and Feta.
Available in four-ounce recyclable plastic tubs, the crumbles come with a resealable lid for added convenience. Use the crumbles to add zest to dips, salads and fruits, or in baking.
Organic Valley Feta Cheese Crumbles are made with a tradition dating back thousands of years. A white rindless, semi-firm cheese, feta has a salty, tangy flavor and is one of the two oldest cheeses in the world. It is made by heating up the curd, pressing it into a form, and then salting it in brine. In fact, feta cheese is commonly described as "pickled cheese" because it is kept in brine to preserve freshness.
The blue cheese crumbles from Organic Valley are made with the same mold used by cheese makers in the village of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon in Southern France, where blue cheese is aged in the naturally damp limestone caves under the village. Creamy ivory in color, Organic Valley's Blue Cheese Crumbles have a firm, crumbly texture with blue mold in the veins and pockets.
Organic Valley organic blue and feta cheese crumbles offer a rich source of protein and calcium, which promote bone and cardiovascular health, among other health benefits. Like all Organic Valley dairy products, the organic cheese crumbles are made without the use of antibiotics, synthetic hormones, or pesticides. Organic Valley cows are fed certified organic feed and graze regularly on certified organic pastures. Research has shown milk from pastured cows to be higher in nutritional value and antioxidant levels compared to milk from non-pastured cows.
