I have a dip recipe that uses Kraft Roka blue cheese spread. I have looked in the grocery stores here and even on the internet and can't find it anywhere. I think they have discontinued it, not sure. If anyone knows where I can buy this product or where to order it on-line please let me know.

It was discontinued last year according to the link below:

"As you know, we discontinued our Roka Blue Cheese Spread at the end of last year. We know how special family recipes are during the holidays and we hate to disappoint. We are making sure that our marketing teams know how much you miss this.
In the meantime, our Kraft Kitchen Experts are also looking into a possible substitute in a Cheese Ball recipe. We'll keep you posted."
Thanks, Claire
You could try the product locator, but not sure if anything will come up:

In that same thread someone posted this recipe:
I made some "Roka Blue" this weekend.
It was a double batch and it was pretty darn close.
I let the cheeses come to room temperature. Then I put them in a food processor and pulse until combined. Then I added the 6 Tbsp. of water and ran the processor until smooth.
I used my version of "Roka Blue" in an old family recipe and it was very close to what it should have been.
Good luck.
Here are the list of ingredients from the Kraft label:
Cream Cheese (Pasteurized Nonfat Milk and Milkfat, Cheese Culture, Whey Protein Concentrate, Salt, Stabilizers [Xanthan and/or Carob Bean and/or Guar Gums]), Water, Blue Cheese (Pasteurized Milk, Cheese Culture, Salt, Enzymes), Whey Protein Concentrate, Whey, contains less than 2% of Salt, Beef Gelatin, Lactic Acid, Carob Bean Gum, Pectin, Guar Gum (11/18/2009)

I found a substitute for Kraft Roka Blue Cheese. I made my cheeseballs today and they came out better. I used Rondele's Gourmet spreadable blue cheese. (12/23/2009)

OH NO!! We must have ROKA BLUE...for our favorite recipes..substitutions do not convey..
Please bring in back!
If I am not mistaken, this is a seasonal item. It is difficult to find, but it usually comes out around this time in local grocery stores (Thanksgiving)
I found it today at my local Schnuck grocery store I bought 5 jars
If so many people like the Roka Blue Cheese why oh why would you discontinue it
I really miss this cheese is their any chance you will start making it again ?
I have used this for years for holiday cheese balls. I cannot wonder why Kraft would stop making it...please reconsider bringing it back...customers all over the US are unhappy as I am.
Please please bring back the roka blue cheese spread!! We have a cheeseball recipe that has been passed down for generations that needs this cheesespread! I don't understand why Kraft wants to discontinue
We have used a cheese-ball recipe for about 50 years. There is no substitute; we tried. The family will miss it.
I have written to Kraft for years asking them to provide the Roka Blue cheese to their customers, especially during the holidays. It worked for a while, but the shelves are bare this year.
