Well that’s hard cheese!

Have you read the one star review by 'Sunday'? Personally, I would be steering clear.

I did. I don’t think they know what paprika is!
70% 5 star rating though.

I’ve been reducing and picking ‘better’ carbs for my grandchildren since January (I’m temporarily lodging with them), I may try it out on them.

Wouldn't it be easier (in terms of availability) and slightly cheaper to use Parmesan? I think it has roughly the same carb value.

It’s the taste and texture I'm after. I’m a bit cheffy and handy with ingredients and I can think of quite a few things this may be handy for. Parmesan is too strong to be used for most of them.
 
Looks like the stuff they put on wotsits! Ahhh wotsits a past life favourite, agree it could be handy but I'm not sure I could leave it alone lol
 
Anyone tried Engevita? I saw a keto recipe, spray pork scratchings with avocado oil and dust with Engevita. Not tried it as can't cope with scratchings yet.

I'm pretty certain @WuTwo uses it, although, I could always be wrong. Apologies if I mis-remembered WuTwo.

Have you tried Grana Padano? It is a bit milder than Parmesan.

Thanks, it’s not what I'm after, I eat that thinly shaved.

On my pension I don't have that sort of money to experiment with pots of ground up cheese I'm afraid - I'd rather spend it on something I know I need to eat. But it's an interesting concept though...

I use it a lot. It's yeast flakes. Adds a savoury, almost nutty flavour in the cooking, and I sprinkle it over grilled tomatoes etc. I use it both for the flavour and the B vitamins. The most popular is by Marigold.

It arrived today and is a hit. It’s wotsis in cheesy heaven and tastes wonderful.
