Strange US cooking ingredient

B3

I bought a gadget that came with a recipe book. A few of the recipes mention granulated butter cheese. Can't find it on Google. Sounds sgusting. What on earth is it?

Not a clue. What type of recipes are they?

This is ‘Butter cheese’

… often made in Amish communities. 

This is ‘granulated cheese’

so … putting two and two together … it’s a sort of grated/shredded 
Amish cheese.

They came with a chopper, blender effort.

That's what I found @Dovefromabove. I didn't think to blend the two definitions🤔
Maybe granulated just means grated.

I think it's more as if it's been through a potato ricer ... if you want to know what you could use as a substitute, I could ask on the Food Forum I'm a member of ...?

Thanks @Dovefromabove but the recipes aren't appealing. Cauliflower pizza dough is one😒

Dovefromabove

Mmmm ... think I'd probably avoid that, given the chance ...

There's some really weird stuff. I only wanted it for breadcrumbs or soffrito.

Sounds better than head cheese, which is Brawn apparently!

I guess you have your answer, but it's not a common item in America, either. Is it a recipe book for gourmands?
