My vegan friend swears by it and its deliciousness.
I have nutrional yeast at home and yes it does taste cheesy. I tasted it by itself when I first bought it and I thought YUCK. Sprinkled on poocorn though and it was YUM. I've tried it on bread, in a sauce and on popcorn. All three uses get a thumbs up. I got mine at the Vitamin Shoppe
