Our Freeze-Dried Cheese Shreds make a great addition to your pantry or emergency food storage. While yummy by itself,  add the shredded cheese right into your favorite recipe and it will rehydrate with the moisture of other foods...or add to salads and soups right from the bag - no rehydration needed!
 
Our Freeze-Dried Cheese Shreds are produced in a process where moisture is removed from the product using a very low temperature and a vacuum. The end product weight is reduced by over 80 percent, while the volume stays the same. This remarkable process concentrates the fresh taste, natural color, and texture of cheese.
 
If rehydrated, the product will absorb the liquid and resemble fresh cheese once again. The taste is great and the nutritional value is preserved. Freeze-drying provides natural and additive free foods to be stored effectively for long periods of time, making them an ideal product for long term food storage and emergency preparedness.
 
Shelf-Life: Will store for 20+ years under ideal storage conditions (cool, dark, dry place).
 
Instructions: No need to rehydrate but if desired, add 1-2 parts water to 1 part cheese. Allow to rehydrate for 20-30 minutes or until fully hydrated.  Do not use too much water initially, it's easier to add a little more than remove excess.
 
Uses: Use in casseroles, baked goods, pastas and more! Add the shredded cheese right into your favorite recipe and it will rehydrate with the moisture of other foods...or add to salads and soups right from the bag - no rehydration needed!
