Nacho cheese seasoning review
-
Last weekend I made a 25lb batch of snacks sticks with the Nacho cheese seasoning. My recipe was 100% pork trimmings (approx 25-30% fat), 2.5 lbs of high temp cheddar cheese & no ECA. I did not use a cure accelerator, so I held them overnight before smoking. I used only pork because I assumed the Nacho flavor would be mild & I did not want gamey meat flavors covering it up. The ingredient list includes bell pepper besides cheese/butter flavors. My overall impression is that it has a mild cheese flavor with a somewhat peppery aftertaste. I taste more black pepper than bell pepper. If you are looking for an overpowering cheese flavor you may be disappointed. My wife’s comment was- It has a good flavor, but I would not know it was nacho cheese if it wasnt labeled as such. This may be a good flavor to try for those who are looking for something a little different and on the mild side.

IVERYAN outstanding review! You specified your product inputs and method so your results can be replicated, and gave fantastic tasting review. I wish all reviews were as professional and well done as this! I really have a great idea what to expect from this now.
Thx much! -

IVERYAN very good review. I had thought that sounded good.

Two different flavor profiles come to mind when saying the word, “nacho cheese.” I think of the canned cheese that is served at sporting events and I then think of dorito’s. The liquid junk has a pretty mild blah flavor, I guess it all depends what your expectations going in were. Seems like it was a strong cheese flavor, at the end of the day you don’t know what you don’t know.
