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

I'm sitting here with my first batch of White Cheddar Cheese popcorn made using this product. Lat year, my wife bought me a Whirley Pop, knowing my love of popcorn and hate of microwaves. Since then, I have struggled to find the right product for making cheddar cheese popcorn. I resorted to buying Annie's Organic Mac & Cheese to use the cheese powder packets. Apparently I am not the only one! As I've noticed in the reviews, that is a popular route. In my search for Organic Cheese powder I came down to Frontier and another brand made here locally in California. The other brand was the same price for half as much but it contained no fillers. Frontier has whey. I decided to check a box of Annies and compare. If Annie's had whey, frontier had won the battle. Well...Annies had whey. So I was more than comfortable ordering this product. Not only that, but I discovered one other very important fact. Annie's cheese powder is NOT organic!! Only the pasta is! I NEVER drink non-organic milk (thats a story onto itself) and I am just starting to steer clear of non organic cheese. I can only imagine how many of the people using Annies cheese powder believe it to be organic! This is amazing on popcorn (my only real use for it) and I will be ordering yellow cheese powder in the near future to increase my options. With a product this tasty I might even try something other than cheddar on my popcorn!

This product is very easy to use and is quite tasty. I use it mainly for rice pasta mac 'n' cheese and sprinkling over popcorn. When making mac 'n' cheese I can be a bit lazy - I'll quickly drain the pasta and let some of the water run back into the pan. Then I'll mix a spoonful or two of the cheese powder into the hot water, give it a stir and let it come to a boil and toss the pasta back into the pan and mix it up. It won't really thicken up without the addition of butter, flour, milk, half 'n' half, or cream. I might also add a sprinkle of garlic powder to give it a little extra kick. It is a bit salty, but you can use less product without loss of cheese flavor. Will definitely purchase this product again. Looking forward to incorporating it into some pie shell recipes.

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.

The first time I purchased this I thought it was totally awesome. The second time I bought it, I thought it tasted very strange. Looking at the ingredient its not 100% cheese powder-at least this time. There's other fillers like whey protein. None of the fillers are bad, but if I wanted to pay for a premium price for cheap filler, I wouldn't be purchasing this for a premium price. I'm looking for a new supplier now.

Almost went to hospital. Gut wrenching pain for hours and 2 hours of vomiting from the lowest depths. I’m assuming from disodium phosphate(look it up). I have an extremely high tolerance constitution but this product brought me to my knees on two occasions. Wasn’t positive it was what caused my issues but now I am Frontier should switch out the ingredients. Over priced Used on popcorn. Tastes ok. A bit salty and phoney tasting. Annie’s organic Mac and cheese powder packet much better and no ‘ chemical’ ingredients. Threw it away and body still recovering from being violently ill. I can’t ever remember feeling that bad. Look up disodium phosphate. Why do they have to have that in there. Frontier offers great products normally. Not this one.
