There's a shredded cheese blend found exclusively at Walmart that may just become your new favorite. If you haven't tried the products from Walmart's newest private-label brand, Bettergoods, its Farmhouse Style Shredded Gourmet Cheddar, Gouda and Gruyere Cheeses blend is a delicious way to start. Not only did it take the top spot in our Walmart shredded cheese ranking, but it's also one of the best Bettergoods products overall, according to customer reviews.

This shredded cheese is not your average store-brand blend. Instead of the usual mix of shredded cheeses — maybe a few different cheddar varieties, a fiesta or Italian blend, or the occasional combo of jack cheeses — this Bettergoods bag combines three of the most flavorful, meltable, and versatile cheeses. Gouda tastes buttery, rich, and with a subtle sweetness, and melts into a smooth, creamy consistency, while gruyere has a nutty, slightly earthy depth of flavor and becomes silky and gooey when melted. 

By combining these cheeses with the familiar sharpness and reliability of cheddar, a well-balanced shredded blend is born. And on top of this, the farmhouse-style cut gives you thicker, more substantial pieces of cheese. Having this blend on hand can cover just about any of your cheese needs.

Bettergoods Farmhouse Style Shredded Gourmet Cheddar, Gouda and Gruyere Cheese blend was previously labeled as "Farmhouse Style Gourmet Mac 'N' Cheese Blend" because combining cheddar, gouda, and gruyere has the potential to make  the most insanely rich, creamy, and cheesy macaroni and cheese. But you can also lend this decadent mix of flavors to many other dishes. 

Melt it over roasted or steamed broccoli for an easy, kid-friendly-favorite side, stir it into quiches, casseroles, or scrambled eggs, or use it to step up grilled cheese sandwiches and quesadillas to gourmet status. The blend also adds rich flavor and creamy contrast when used as a topping for baked potatoes, nachos, soups, tacos, and chili — or simply enjoy a few shreds straight from the bag whenever the craving strikes.

It's not everyday a private-label brand pairs cheddar with specialty cheeses like gouda and gruyere in a shredded blend. Even less common is finding the cheeses bundled together at such a remarkably low price: $2.67 for a 7-ounce bag. And knowing how many ways you can use it for cooking and snacking, why wouldn't you keep a couple bags on hand? Shredded cheese can also be frozen for later use, so there's little reason not to stock up on an extra bag or two of this blend the next time you're at Walmart.
