i don't think you quite understand how cheese works

That shit is nothing like """real""" Parmesan, but I use it anyway because it's cheap.

What is cotija cheese

>>9124297
Cotija is a hard cow's milk cheese that originated from Mexico. It is named after the town of Cotija, Michoacán.[1]

Cotija comes in two primary versions. El queso Cotija de Montaña or "grain cheese" is dry and firm, with little taste other than saltiness (the cheese is usually several times saltier than typical cheese, traditionally for preservative reasons).[1] "Tajo" cheese is a moister, fattier, and less salty version that holds its shape when cut, with a flavor similar to Greek feta.

There's no such thing as "real parmesan".

Parmesan = fake imitation product
Parmigiano = the cheese which "parmesan" attempts to copy.

>A powdery sharp cheddar topping would be great for chili and casseroles.

Sounds awful. Why not use the actual cheese?

I was just saying it's close to the fake parmesan cheese when it comes to the texture and shit but without being fake lol
Plus it has flavor

Powdered cheddar topping will be with the popcorn seasonings at your grocery store. You can also buy pure powdered cheddar online and at some specialty stores.

it is a anti caking agent.

keeps the pre ground cheese from turning into cement because of humidity.

it is perfectly ok to eat. though don't use it in a sauce. as the cellulose will act as an emulsifier and throw your sauce's texture off.

sometimes i get a spoon and just eat a huge spoonful of it

also get tons of packets from pizza places and just eat them

mix it together with hot sauce and it's delicious

thanks schlotzsky's for making me realize this

Corporate lawyers are a sneaky little bunch; it isn't false advertising, they were just stating that 100% of the Parmesan Cheese in the packet is grated. More fool you for being a law and grammar pleb.

It's the same legalese you see in meaningless qualifiers like 'Real'. Yes, 'pink slime' is technically 'Real Beef' as it is a meat by-product, but could any food company advertise processed slaughterhouse refuse honestly and appealingly?
