Gluten ain cheese
by: Suzy W

This is a very late reply, as I am new to the site.
My understanding on some types of cheese there is gluten. Some companies dust their cheese in flour to stop the packet from sticking to the cheese.
My husband has eaten cheese with a flour dusting, and has been very ill afterwards.
The best thing to do, is buy greated cheese or phone the cheese maker and ask.

Hoping for GF cheese
by: Lesley

Gawwd after giving up gluten, starch and sugar (to a degree) I hate the very thought that blue cheese could possibly have gluten. Dairy is all I have left!! COR!

veined cheeses
by: Anonymous

My understanding is that veined cheeses like bleu cheese has gluten because bread is placed around the cheese blocks to form the veins. I have recently found a local creamery that should be GF bleu cheese. They use grape leaves instead of bread but I haven't been able to make sure.
Also here in the US some companies use flour in shredded cheese to prevent sticking.

I highly doubt cheese would hold gluten, one large reason is that the gluten would change the taste also there really wouldnt be any need to put cheese in during the process of making it, cheese has been made for hundreds of years and it forms perfectly without assistance, addidtives would change the taste. i cant be to sure for budget cheeses and really course brands were it taste of plastic, considern what that stuff taste like i couldnt realy say its cheese anyway.

cheese such as tasty and eden and mild should be perfectly fine.
