Anthony's Premium Cheddar Cheese Powder, 1 lb, Batch Tested and Verified Gluten Free, Keto Friendly

Love the convenience, flavor is good, but not as rich/full flavored as I had hoped, but still good. This may sound weird, but I was in the mood for pasta… really didn’t feel like cooking after a long workday, so boiled some gluten free penne pasta, drained added a little butter to the saucepan tossed in a can of peas and some left over chicken cubed, mixed a little of the cheddar cheese powder and almond milk…once that was heated through added the pasta back in… but it needed a little zippp… so I added some dill and pepper, then squeezed fresh lime over the dish before serving…. It was soooooo good! Don’t be afraid to experiment… so fun and tastey! :) And this cheddar cheese powder has endless possibilities!UPDATE: I hadn't made popcorn for a while and when I did, remembered that I had some Anthony's Cheddar Cheese Powder... so I sprinkled a generous teaspoonful over the popcorn that I had put in a Tupperware bowl .. put the lid on and shook it up. Then I died and went to heaven ...OMG! BEST Cheddar Cheese Popcorn EVER!! So in the earlier review I said it was not as rich and full flavored as I had hoped, well... it still works like a charm in a pinch for cooking but OMG... it SHINES when it comes to Cheese Popcorn...that's really where it comes to life... SOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD... addictive. I just reread my original post and so glad I did... lol forgot about that dish I threw together... now I have "the recipe" lol. I never use recipes... and love to create and experiment.. but when they are good ... like to keep them. :) Anyway... ENJOY your cheese popcorn..it truly is addictive its that good! :)

Taste like cheese. Not gritty and tastes great. Reminds me of Kraft Mac and cheese powder

I like to add this to scrambled eggs instead of shredded cheese (which, btw, costs much more and has more calories for the same amount of flavor). I think it would be good to add to cheese up certain soups, casseroles/soufflees, rice, veggies, and pasta (of course). I don't bake, but this would be awesome mixed into bread dough or muffin batter. It tastes like a better quality, more natural version of kraft mac and cheese powder... it is made from and tastes like real cheddar cheese -a little goes a long way. Great taste. Only issue is that it tends to clump a bit when you add it to wet foods. I don't mind much but, if you do, mixing it with a fork for around a minute into oil, warm milk, or melted butter will remove the lumps. I also think it's better to store it in a container rather than the bag -every time I close the bag a little puff of yellow smoke gets me if I am not careful. I will continue to buy this to cut way back on the amount of regular cheese I buy.

While it doesn’t taste like the “blue box” cheese, the flavor is really good. I would say it’s more of a mild cheddar than sharp. It’s definitely salty, but not overwhelmingly so. I tasted it by itself on a spoon, with a little water, and then with milk and butter. Tastes like a satisfying powdered cheese that I would happily put into snacks or main dishes. The bag has a zip-seal that won’t re-close, I put the whole thing into a gallon ziplock. Not a problem. I tried just wishing the powder into liquid and it was not the easiest to blend, so I used my stick (immersion) blender. Once again, a non issue.I legitimately read all the negative reviews, and while I can see merit in many of the complaints, I’m satisfied, if not slightly giddy about this purchase. I will definitely but again. Truly appreciate that it doesn’t have tons of artificial junk. It’s clearly not “healthy”, but it’s better for you (in my opinion) than some other cheese powder options.It’s not going to taste like real/fresh cheese. It’s not neon orange like Cheetos. There was no “off” flavors or chemical aftertaste.Without making a “OMG, best product ever” review, it has fully met and exceeded the expectations I had for...powdered cheese product. You may hate it... please send me your bag if so lol4-star review was not due to any flaw in the product. I just think most 5-star reviews are phony. So this is a real, albeit it wordy, take. Some Anthony’s products are meh. This was not meh.

We have been trying to recreate the flavor of commercial snacks at home, so we can have them whenever we want without the extra storage space. One of those is a certain brand of hot cheese popcorn, and this - along with some chili and garlic powders - does the trick just fine! This might seem like an expensive product, but that popcorn brand ain't cheap and the amount of product you get in a one-pound container will make a lot of popcorn. Plus, a heaping tablespoon here and there in other recipes - like gravy for instance - adds a nice hint of cheesy flavor. This does not replace cheese in our house, but rather makes cheese flavor possible in applications where fresh cheese would not work. There is another popular brand of powdered cheese, and we bought a pound of each to compare; I would recommend you do the same. While both taste great, they are noticeably different. I would not necessarily choose one brand over the other, and have given both similar reviews. This one seems to win out on our perception of the listed ingredients. I will DEFINITELY be buying more powdered cheese, but the going price will probably be the deciding factor in choosing which to get. Happy eating!
