Pass the Cheese, Please!

We’ve gotten a couple of requests lately for cheese powder, so we’ve done our best to try to find a couple of flavors for you. So far, we’ve come up with blue cheese, romano parmesan and a cheese sauce but we’re still looking and hope to add a few more soon.


This cheese sauce powder makes it incredibly easy to whip up mac and cheese or any other pasta dish in the wilderness. We also made a tasty dipping sauce out of it- we added a few dehydrated jalapeno bits and some powdered hatch chile peppers and voila! nachos (or fondue) in the wilderness! We’ve also tried reconstituting it with hot and cold water and both work – although the hot water does do a better job of it. That was a big selling point for us because many cheese sauces just get clumpy when you try to make the sauce with cold water…and you don’t always have the luxury of hot when you’re in the backcountry.


Romano and parmesan are both great Italian cheeses and they make a delicious combination when blended together. This romano parmesan blend is about the same consistency as the pre-grated parmesan that you can find in most grocery stores so it’s incredibly easy to add to just about any dish. We’ve sprinkled over many a pasta dish and stirred into soups for added flavor.


Blue cheese has such a unique and pungent flavor that when we saw that it was available in a powdered form, we just had to have it! This blue cheese powder is milder than most blue cheeses, which is nice because you can get the flavors of blue cheese to come out without being overwhelmed. Since this cheese is very finely ground, it’s easy to get it to ‘melt’ into your dish without any clumping. We’ve tested it in polenta, risotto and over boiled/steamed freeze-dried veggies and it’s been delicious every time!
