Question 1

What is the difference between this "premium" labeled cheese powder versus the one labeled "gourmet" ?

Accepted Answer

I'm not finding a "gourmet" cheese from this brand. This product, the Cheddar Cheez powder has added hydrogenated soybean oil and artificial coloring. The regular Cheddar Cheese powder uses sunflower oil and artificial coloring. The Premium Cheddar Cheese powder does not have added oils and uses paprika and Annette for coloring. The Extra Buttery powder starts with buttermilk powder, includes nonfat milk powder with paprika and annatto for coloring.

Question 2

I need a recipe for Cheddar Cheez soup using this product. Does anyone have a recipe.

Accepted Answer

I love this one.  2 Cups powdered coffee creamer (like coffee-mate), 1/2 Cup cheddar cheese powder, 1 Tbsp parsley flakes, 1 Tbsp chicken bouillon powder, 2 tsp dried onion flakes, 2 Cups instant potato flakes, black pepper to your taste.  What I like is, using this base, you can makes as much as you want.  The ratio is one cup liquid to 1/2 Cup cheese soup mix.  I make it a cup at a time, but you can make more.  I have made this cup-of-soup in the microwave, but I prefer stovetop.  Here's what I do:  mix 1C water (or 3/4 C water and 1/4 C beer) 1/2 C soup mix.  Whisk together, and heat over med-high until thick and bubbly.  If it's too thin, cook it longer, if it's too thick, thin it down with some liquid.  I add red pepper flakes or a bit of cayenne, (or both!). If you want a whole pot, use the 1C to 1/2 C ratio, but maybe pull back a little bit on the liquid.  You can add more later if you need to.

Question 3

Is this gluten free

Accepted Answer

I'm allergic to gluten. This is why I bought it--can't eat normal pasta anymore. With that said, I am NOT Celiac. This is pretty much just a dehydrated cheese-dairy product, but it has been manufactured alongside places contaminated with gluten and nuts. I do not believe I have had a bad reaction to it. However, again, I am allergic to gluten, but NOT Celiac. If you are Celiac or are super sensitive to things that are manufactured in contaminated places, then do not buy it. However, if you are merely allergic and can have things that are slightly contaminated, go for it. There are different levels of being allergic/sensitivity, and I'm not sure how sensitive you are.
