I ordered some Knorr chicken bouillon cubes because I didn’t feel like making broth or a seasoning mix. Thought they would be an okay choice in a pinch. When I smelled the box, it was ridiculously pungent. I opened it and smelled a cube itself and the chicken scent started to unfold, but the weird ‘cheesy’ smell was still there. Is that normal? I’ve never used bouillon before.

Closest I’ve gotten was seasoning from ramen. Haven’t had any in a while though, so I don’t remember what it smells like. The expiration date is set in 2024.
