What's Happening
What is the Plant-Based Charcuterie trend?
Plant-Based Charcuterie: Brands are increasingly offering individual cheese and meat products, or entire collections, designed for charcuterie boards that are completely plant-based--catering to people with restricted diets.
Insight
The consumer insight behind the Plant-Based Charcuterie trend
The variety that now exists in the alternative ingredients market is such that consumers are able to experiment with what they consume in this space, rather than taking what they can get. This includes taking part in food rituals and traditions that were once difficult to engage with as vegetarians or vegans.
