i was a bit skeptical at first but it's a wonderful addition to eggs, chowders, anyplace you want a cheesy flavor that tastes like cheese and not a chemical. plus it is not salty. it's a true cheese flavor. this is a must have in my kitchen. just adding this: you can mix it with a buttery spread for a new twist on garlic bread, bake it in the oven for a few minutes, bread wrapped in foil at 350. my company could not get enough. i'm sure i'll come up with more uses. stay tuned.
