Popped Cheese Snacks

'Cheesepop' is an Innovative Snack Cheese That's Like Popcorn

While consumers have come to know cheese, popcorn and even cheesy popcorn snacks, Cheesepop presents an entirely new innovation in snack cheese.

The single-ingredient cheese snack is actually made with pure gouda cheese, which has been popped using "a whole new and unique production method." For the making of the snack, the cheese is cut, dried and popped, resulting in an exciting new way to experience a familiar type of cheese. Cheesepop suggests serving its unique product with a glass of red wine for a new twist on the tried-and-true pairing of wine and cheese.

The product is packaged in a convenient single-serve cup that requires no refrigeration, which makes it especially ideal for on-the-go enjoyment.
