Blue Cheese: Complete Vitamin Profile

Blue Cheese: Considered a good source of vitamins?

Blue cheese is not a particularly good source of vitamins. It does contain some vitamin A, from the milk it is made with. It also contains trace amounts of other vitamins and minerals like calcium, iron, folate,Some studies suggest that blue cheese can be beneficial in improving bone health due to its calcium content. However, these benefits may be limited by the fact that most commercial varieties are high in sodium and saturated fat. The bacteria used to create blue cheese also releases enzymes during aging which cause the breakdown of certain nutrients, further reducing its potential nutritional value. All things considered, while blue cheese may provide small amounts of essential nutrients, it is not an excellent source of any single nutrient.
