Popcorn Seasoning Suggested Usage: Pop 1/4 cup popcorn kernels in 1/4 cup oil, then immediately toss with 1/4 cup cheese powder. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Shelf Life: The manufacturer lists a "Best By" date of 1 year from date of manufacturing, so once the product reaches you, it's about 8-10 months. However, we've found that when stored at room temperature or below in an air-tight container out of direct light, it easily lasts 2-3 years.

We use this to make our: Roma Romano Dip Mix.
