  • Yes, our grated cheeses need to be refrigerated after opening.   4C HomeStyle and 6 oz glass jar cheeses do not contain fillers or preservatives.  So once the vacuum seal has been opened, you need to treat it as any dairy product.

  • Cellulose is a natural ingredient extracted from plants.  It is a natural additive in cheese products for the purpose of non-clumping in the manufacturing process.  Our HomeStyle Cheese and 6 oz. glass jar cheeses do not contain cellulose as they are vacuum-packed.

  • Panko is the Japanese word for breadcrumb. Panko crumbs are made using bread without the crusts. The resulting dried product makes a much lighter, more delicate and crispier bread crumb. Larger and flakier than most crumbs, Panko crumbs will make all your recipes lighter and crunchier. Perfect for chicken and shrimp tempura.
