There's a reason why our Spiceology Black & Bleu Cajun & Bleu Cheese blend is a best seller and general fan favorite - there's just nothing out there quite like it and it's freakin' delicious. Made with real dehydrated bleu cheese and some of our favorite Cajun spices, you're getting a never-before-tasted flavor profile that's good and so many dishes - from mashed potatoes to popcorn - and everything in between. Take this Roasted Squash Soup by Chef Ryan Wiebe - the hint of heat and creaminess instantly elevates any soup, but knocks it out of the park when you roast autumn squash, onions and garlic with a healthy shake of Black & Bleu. Top with some of of your favorite crunchies like kale chips, pumpkin seeds, good oil - even chili crisp.
