My favorite salad dressing is Blue Cheese, I just love it. A lot of restaurants tho do not make it all that well. The best I have eaten is Marie's Blue Cheese dressing in a jar at Shoprite where I do my grocery shopping. It is delish.
You know what is interesting? I have learned from my food microbiology class that cheese does not cause the lactose intolerance symptoms because the lactose has already been broken down in the fermentation process by the bacteria lactobacillus. One of my assignments last semester was the fermentation of blue cheese. You could say that after I finished, I wanted to go and eat some!!!Originally Posted by Natalie_ca
I'm now officially addicted to Blue Cheese!!
I buy it a couple times per month, and I even buy the salad dressing too!
For some reason this cheese doesn't affect me adversely (I'm lactose intolerant), maybe because it's an aged cheese.
All I know is that I can't get enough of this stuff!!
Who knew that one day I'd say that I like eating mould!
I have to disagree with you. Cheese slices, cheddar, mozzarella, cream cheese, cottage cheese and some others.....all will have me doubled over in horrific stomach cramps and running to the bathroom with explosive diarrhea.Originally Posted by Kiwideus

Then you may have an allergy to dairy. It is a common misconception that cheese causes lactose intolerance when it itself has low quantities. Believe me, I study microbiology and have learned this. Cheese is one of the few foods I can enjoy in the dairy category.Originally Posted by Natalie_ca

Real Feta made from goat's milk doesn't do that. Neither does Blue Chesse for some reason.
Sorry, I still disagree with you. I know my symptoms. They are exactly the same when I have regular milk instead of lactaid milk.Originally Posted by Kiwideus
