I tried both this product and 'Hoosier Hill Farm Cheddar Cheese Powder'. Both are very similar with a very slight nod to Hoosier Hill Farm's for better flavor (IMHO).  The products do not have a strong cheesy and are a little more salty than I would like, however it is powder cheese after all.  I tried both water and milk in the preparation, and not surprisingly, milk yields a more favorable result.  As a standalone cheese sauce it OK but not great, however I find it works well as a flavored binder or thickening agent with marinara or spaghetti sauce.  The long shelf life (if stored correctly) makes it a nice product to have around, Ill buy more.
