OGOP, Cheese Powder

Cheese powder is essentially dehydrated cheese. It can be made a number of ways, but the most common commercial procedure is to melt fresh, whole cheese and spray it through a hot dryer, producing a thick, velvety powder that can then be added to ema-datshi, to bread and sauces, and, oddly enough, to homemade cheese recipes.

Cheese powder is most commonly made from cheddar but can come in Swiss, round, and a few other varieties. Cheese powder in cheese recipes is most commonly used for flavor value. Sometimes a cheese (especially one eaten fresh) will taste either bland or pungent, especially in the case of a cow milk cheese, and the addition of cheese powder can really change the flavor.
