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.
 
Seems innocuous in terms of the ingredients list.
 
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.
 

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.
