Parson Cheese Powder Flavor (also known as Parmesan Cheese Flavor) is a concentrated solid food additive that highly simulates the flavor of Italian Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. In the food industry of 2026, Parson cheese, with its unique “aged, rich, and savory” flavor, has become a core ingredient for enhancing the quality of savory snacks and condiments.
Parson Cheese Powder flavor (also referred to as “Parson Cheese flavor” in domestic materials) is a powdered food flavoring primarily based on a “Cheddar-Parson” style cheese, with a main aroma of “fermented cheese + nuts + creamy salty-sweetness”. The core flavor compounds come from enzymatic cheese, diacetyl, acetoin, 2-heptanone, 5-methylfurfural, and small amounts of sulfur-containing compounds (dimethyl trisulfide), giving it the characteristics of “white mold cheese rind + condensed milk + roasted nuts”.
Flavor Characteristics: Possesses a typical and intense aged savory flavor, nutty notes, and a rich umami taste.
Sensory Performance: The aroma is deep and long-lasting, with a nutty undertone similar to walnuts and a fermented ester aroma. The saltiness is moderate, and it can significantly enhance the meaty texture and savory flavor of food.
Core Function: Imparts a signature Italian flavor to products, increases the flavor depth (body) of the product, and effectively balances the flavors of various savory base ingredients.
Food Parson Cheese Powder Flavour is used in Bread, biscuits, potato chips, popcorn, hot pot base, pasta sauce, protein powder, milk foam, e-cigarette liquid, fish bait, etc
Main Uses:
Baking: Cheese bread, biscuits, crackers, mooncakes, pizza crusts – pre-mixed with butter/vegetable oil before adding to the dough; the rich cheese rind aroma is retained even after high-temperature baking.
Extruded Snacks: Potato chips, corn puffs, popcorn – sprayed onto the surface with powdered sugar and salt in a tumbling process, followed by secondary drying to fix the aroma, creating a “cheese corn” flavor.
Compound Seasonings: Cheese powder packets, hot pot dipping sauces, instant soup cubes, pasta sauces – used in conjunction with MSG and I+G to provide a “fermented cheese + nut” base flavor.
Solid Beverages/Cereals: Three-in-one cereal, protein powder, milk foam powder – 0.1-0.3% dry mixing for instant dissolution, reducing the amount of real cheese powder by more than 50%.
Industrial & Pet Products: Electronic cigarette solid cartridges, pet food topping, fish bait granules.
