Best Powdered Cheese of 2025

"This cheese powder is a staple in my kitchen. I love the rich and authentic cheddar flavor it brings to various dishes. The 2.5-pound pack is generous and great value, and it's incredibly easy to use in everything from popcorn to sauces. It really enhances the flavor of my meals!"

"I absolutely adore this cheese powder! I've tried the regular Hoosier Hill cheddar before, but the Premium Cheddar is definitely better—a bit cheesier and less clumpy. However, I was disappointed with the packaging of my last order, as it arrived with dented corners. But I still love using these containers for pantry storage!"

"Cheddar popcorn is a go-to snack in our house, and this cheese powder has made it so much easier to enjoy it without raiding our Mac n Cheese boxes. It’s not overly salty, and while the color is a bit off, it gets the job done at a great price!"

"I love the great flavor of this powder! It’s a fantastic value for my money, and I use it to make my sourdough starter crackers. It mixes easily with ghee, tastes not too salty, and doesn’t have any artificial colors. The ingredient list is pretty solid too!"

"I sprinkle this on my popcorn after adding butter and oil, and it works perfectly! The fine texture and great taste make it a favorite for me. It doesn’t clump and spreads evenly throughout the popcorn. The clean ingredients are a big plus, and I’ll definitely buy it again!"

"This cheddar powder tastes amazing! It has a super fine and silky texture, and the flavor is strong yet not overpowering. I’ve used it in my almond flour cracker recipe and even enjoyed it plain. The price is decent for the quality, and it fits well with my dirty keto lifestyle!"

"I was pleasantly surprised by the authentic cheddar flavor. It tastes just like real cheese, and it’s great for mixing into dishes. I found it very easy to use and perfect for long-term storage."

"Initially, I thought it would just be like the powder cheese in boxed mac and cheese, but this is much better! It has a rich cheddar flavor that really comes through when added to popcorn. I love how it adds flavor without the extra calories."

"I bought this for my nacho cheese dip, but the instructions were a little vague. I had to do some experimenting, but it turned out great! The powder adds a good cheese flavor to soups without the high calorie count."

"I've been using Hoosier Hill Farm's white cheddar powder for a while now and I'm really impressed. It's just as good as my previous favorite but about 30% cheaper. I love it for mac & cheese and on buttered popcorn. It adds a nice cheesy flavor without being salty!"

"As a health-conscious runner, I needed a way to spice up my steamed vegetables without adding calories from butter. This cheese powder has been a game changer! It's flavorful without being too cheesy, and it works wonders on eggs and even apples. I was pleasantly surprised by its aroma and taste!"

"This cheese powder is a hit with my kids! They prefer it over boxed mac and cheese and also enjoy it on veggies and rice. It's versatile and delicious, and I will definitely keep purchasing it!"

"This cheese powder is simply amazing! It tastes delicious and has a cheesy flavor similar to Kraft's, but without the saltiness. I use it to make cheese sauce, and it dissolves easily in water or milk, creating a creamy sauce. We love adding it to boxed mac & cheese for extra cheesiness. While making a thinner sauce requires some whisking, we have no issues when mixing it directly into prepared mac & cheese. It's also fantastic sprinkled on popcorn with butter-flavored cooking spray, elevating our movie nights!"

"I tend to buy Augason products on sale. I've been a bit of a 'prepper' for years, and having a solid stock of food has helped me through various emergencies. I haven't opened my cheese blend powder container yet, but I appreciate the long-term storage options. I like to add it to soups for extra flavor or use it in other dishes. The cans I've received are always in perfect condition, and the variety and quality of Augason products have impressed me."

"I tried this cheese powder expecting a flavor similar to Kraft, but I was a bit disappointed. The taste is weaker, and I found myself using more than I anticipated to achieve a decent cheese sauce. While the flavor is acceptable, it's not strong enough for what I was hoping for. It turns out to be a bit expensive for the flavor it delivers. I was wishing for a restaurant-grade cheese powder, but it didn't meet that expectation."

"I think I’m destined to have permanently orange-stained fingers. This cheese powder is so delicious and cheesy on popcorn that I can’t stop enjoying it. After long, tiring days, a tub of popcorn is my go-to dinner. I prefer popping it on the stovetop or using my microwave popper for a healthier option. I love using white or black corn for its smaller hulls and crisp texture. I usually pop it with coconut oil or bacon fat for added flavor. The cheese powder sticks perfectly when I add some oily topping, and once I achieve the right cheesiness, I can’t help but hoard it!"

"This product is incredible! I can make my own mac and cheese much more affordably than buying pre-made boxes. It’s also great on potatoes and adds a nice touch to various dishes."

"I was tired of spending too much on cheese toppings at the store, so I tried this product. It sticks well to lightly buttered popcorn and has a decent flavor, although I find it slightly sweet and needing more salt. I recommend mixing it with a pinch of salt and cayenne powder for an amazing topping!"

"I wanted white cheddar powder for popcorn to recreate a flavor I loved from microwave popcorn. I added some oil and this powder, and it was exactly what I was looking for! Not overly salty, and I can adjust the salt to my taste. I also use it for homemade mac and cheese, saving money and allowing me to choose my favorite pasta shapes, like rigatoni. It's become my go-to for a homemade Dorito recipe too, enhancing the flavor wonderfully. I'm almost out of my first bag and will definitely be buying more!"

"I switched from King Arthur's Better Cheddar powder to this one because of the price and I'm so pleased! The flavor is excellent and I use it on everything from breads to popcorn. It has become a staple in my kitchen!"

"I bought this as a replacement for Annie's cheese powder, which has been a bit disappointing lately. I love that I can add my desired amount of cheese without worrying about clumping too much. I mix it with sour cream, and it has turned out delicious, especially with chicken broth! I'm really happy with my decision to switch."

"I've been enjoying this brand for a while now. It’s the closest to the flavors of expensive, prepackaged smart popcorn. I pop the popcorn, spray a little oil, and sprinkle on a tablespoon or two. It’s a decadent treat that’s priced right. I was so pleased I bought one white cheddar and one yellow cheddar!"

"For the last couple of years, I've subscribed to this product. However, the last two bags had a completely different flavor and texture. The taste has changed to something chemical, and the powder is now gritty instead of fine. I thought it was a one-time issue, but the second bag was just as bad. I won’t order again after two disappointments."

"I really like this cheese powder. It helps me make gluten-free mac and cheese for my husband without spending a fortune. I also use it in casseroles and on popcorn. It blends well and contains only cheese."

"I love having this on hand! It's perfect for making cheesier Mac & Cheese and adds a creamy, cheesy flavor to popcorn and sauces. I even created a dish I call 'Ramon & cheese' by mixing it with some onion powder. It's great for emergencies!"

"I wasn't a cheese fan, but I absolutely adore this white cheddar popcorn. I switched from buying bagged popcorn to this powder, and it’s just fantastic. I'm already on my second container because the first one ran out quickly. It’s worth every penny!"

"I took a chance and ordered two containers during a good sale. This cheese powder is definitely a wise investment. It tastes better than the competing products I've tried, and it's like real white cheddar without that typical salty flavor. I’m so glad I made the switch!"

"I used to buy Hoosier Hill cheddar cheese powder, but it seems they changed the recipe. Now, I’m thrilled to have found this product! It has a fantastic tangy taste and a bit of grit that helps it stick to popcorn without needing butter. No aftertaste either, just like gourmet cheese popcorn. 1,000% recommended!"

"This cheddar powder is perfect for both popcorn and pasta dishes. I would definitely purchase it again as it offers great flavor and is a good value for the money!"

"As a previous user of Hoosier Hill, I needed a replacement after their formula changed. I found this brand, and now my popcorn is back to its glorious cheesiness. I’m happy, my wife is happy, and even my dogs are happy!"
