Collection: Cheese Powder & Toppings for Popcorn

The Best Cheese Powder & Toppings for Popcorn

Real cheese popcorn starts with two things: popcorn built to hold a coating, and real cheese powder to dress it. This collection brings both together. Start with our gourmet mushroom popcorn, whose big, round kernels stand up to cheese and coatings without crumbling, then pick your toppings, from best-selling cheddar cheese powder to white cheddar, butter, parmesan, and more. Every topping is a shelf-stable powder made with real cheese, so it clings evenly and delivers bold flavor without making your popcorn soggy.

Choose your popcorn

Not all popcorn is built the same, so match the kernel to the job. Both are grown in Northeast Indiana, non-GMO, and single-ingredient.

Reach for gourmet mushroom popcorn when you are dressing your popcorn. Its big, round shape holds cheese powder, caramel, and coatings where thin flakes break apart. Choose white popcorn, a hulless and tender kernel, for a lighter butter-and-salt bowl or everyday snacking.

Pick your topping

• Cheddar cheese powder is the classic, real movie-theater cheese popcorn and our best-seller.
• White cheddar is tangier and creamier.
• Buttery cheddar seasoning blends butter and cheddar in one shake and clings on its own.
• Sizzlin' cheddar seasoning brings cheddar with a little heat for those who like a kick.
• Butter powder gives real butter flavor without the drip and doubles as the base layer that helps other toppings stick.
• Parmesan brings a nutty, savory edge, and nutritional yeast is a cheesy, savory, fully plant-based option that adds a protein boost to your bowl.

How to make any topping stick

Powdered toppings need a little fat to cling to. Drizzle your warm popcorn with melted butter or butter powder, toss, then sprinkle your cheese powder in two or three passes, tossing between each. A good starting point is 1 to 2 tablespoons of cheese powder per quart of popped popcorn.
