After tasting these today I suspect that the people who hate them just don't care for parmesan cheese. They have the same nutty taste that parmesan is known for and the smell is most certainly not bad. In fact, I was surprised how faint it was. Also, must have got lucky because my package looked full and the only broken pieces were a few halves, not tiny bits. These are nice, I actually like them a lot. I ate the first few solo but I plan on trying them with some soup next. If the price point of this type of product were lower in general I'm sure I'd repurchase them often.
