Frontier Co-op White Cheddar Cheese Powder, 1lb Bulk Bag, Organic Powdered Cheese - Perfect for Popcorn Seasoning, Dishes and More, Gluten FreeUSDA Organic

Wow! I could mimic all of Mando's world's enthusiastic comments, except that I haven't received this yet. But I did place an order as soon I found it, and can't wait til my order arrives!Many years ago, Kraft used to sell cheddar cheese sprinkles in a container same as what they still sell Parmesan cheese in. My kids and I regularly and faithfully bought it to sprinkle on our Friday night popcorn and were in heaven! Then they suddenly quit making it. We were one depressed household! Now, I am sensitive to the annatto food coloring they undoubtedly used to make it orange, so probably couldn't use this even if it were still around. But that didn't mean I could go without cheese on my popcorn. The sprinkles sold in the spice isle, when available, are all mostly salt and full of strange ingredients, with little to no real cheese in them. So I resorted to buying Annie's organic mac and cheese just for the sprinkles. Since I am now gluten intolerant as well, I have been buying the dinner packages just for the cheese, and throwing the noodles away. Such a waste! The only good thing about that is that the package of cheese is just about the right size for a large bowl of buttered popcorn, so no measurement needed. I even contacted Annie's to see if they sold containers of just the cheese sprinkles, and they said they quit selling it due to lack of demand. So I am entirely thrilled to have found this. As long as it even remotely resembles Annie's cheese puffs, as one reviewer said, I will be happy. If it turns out way worse, I'll update my review. But in the meantime, I am waiting expectantly and excitedly for my order to arrive. With such a big bag of it and no wasted noodles, not to mention the wasted packaging, I am sure I will be using on more than just popcorn in short order.Update: This is GOOD stuff. I've ordered several bags of it, and just placed my third order. It's good and pure. Doesn't cause any problems whatsoever with my extremely sensitive system.

Always love the products I get from Frontier Co-op. Tastes great.

Wow. Just wow. I can't believe they sell this first of all. My fellow cheese lovers your prayers have been answered! Just like any sane person out there, I love me some cheese. The cheesier the better! Okay, maybe its not the healthiest at times, especially with all the artificial cheese in many popular products, but I really didn't have any other means for a cheese fix. Will now I have found THE ANSWER. This right hurrr (couldn't resist).1 pound sounds intimidating but trust me its not. First let me say that the package got here earlier than the estimated time and I was happy with the packaging. I had no fears or worries that it could have been damaged. Last thing I want is all this amazing cheese going to waste in a box of all things! Now we can move on to the actual glorious cheese powder.How can I describe the taste. The best way I could describe it is, its definitely cheddar but if you've ever had those white cheddar puffs this is what it taste like. Go to your local grocery store and check out Auntie Ann's organic White Cheddar Cheese puffs if you're curious as to what to expect. I have used this on pasta with meat sauce, crackers, mashed potatoes, bread, you name it! I have to say I am extremely happy. Sometimes I have to stop myself, so I don't just take a spoon and eat it like that! Buy it NOW!

If you're reading this, you're looking for signs that this will be "good enough." It is not.Many reviewers wrote that this was not as good as the King Arthur brand, or even as good as Annie's. Since there were even more positive reviews, I decided to take a chance on it, given the price point.Wanderer, learn from my error! This is only remotely edible when masked with other flavors. It is not a matter of "needing to use more" or even of "being too salty." It has sickly off-flavors, probably due to the whey and powdered nonfat milk used as a cheap filler. The mouthfeel is sticky and unpleasant.2 stars because it is ostensibly non-toxic and can be consumed without physical injury, preferably while looking at a photograph of real cheese.

I purchased this without reading the fine print, silly me. This "bulk cheese powder" is mislabeled, it should be labeled "cheese blend" because it contains chemicals, ugh. The bag itself says "cheddar cheese blend" but the Amazon description does NOT, this needs to be changed! I purchased this off the Amazon description. Just because an ingredient like maltodextrin doesn't make you ill quickly (which would technically make it a poison), doesn't mean one should eat it regularly. (I actually get ill, stomach upset, anytime I eat foods containing maltodextrin so some of us Are sensitive) As a pharmacist, I don't recommend food items that contain artificial (or even many so-called "natural") chemicals to any of my patients, and I certainly don't eat them myself! I have bought other Frontier items in the past and been satisfied. But not this. I'd rather have my cheese powder clump a little than eat maltodextin and silicon dioxide, thank you very much. Extremely disappointed with companies that mix Organic food with nasty chemicals.
