These blocks are made with the same curd as the brand's [Cheesorizo Original Cheese Sausage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheese-sausage) but they are pressed, cooled and sliced, and in some cases marinated. As well as being offered in the form of a classic Simply Plain Cheesorizo CheeseSteak, the brand's products are also shared in Ginger Teriyaki and Souther BBQ varieties that can be prepared in a wide variety of ways. These grilling cheeses have the potential to complement everything from noodle dishes and burgers to stir-fry meals, adding plenty of texture and a new, non-melting take on cheese. As many people are purchasing low-carb and whole dairy products, cooking cheeses are becoming all the more interesting to North American consumers. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Grilling Cheese Blocks:** Cheese blocks that can be grilled, roasted or sautéed with different flavor profiles. - **Vegetarian and Vegan Products:** Vegetarian cheese-infused sausage products with grilling cheese blocks can be used in various applications, appealing to a broader market. - **Low-carb and Whole Dairy Products:** The rise of low-carb and whole dairy products is generating interest in cooking cheeses that can be used in multiple ways. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** There is potential for food manufacturers to create more vegetarian, low-carb, and whole dairy products that incorporate grilling cheese blocks with unique flavor profiles. - **Retail:** Retailers can stock up on grilling cheese blocks to meet the demand of this new, non-melting take on cheese, appealing to consumers looking for something novel to add to their dishes. - **Restaurant:** Restaurants can create new dishes by incorporating grilling cheese blocks with creative flavor profiles, making their menus stand out and appealing to patrons on a vegetarian, low-carb, or whole dairy diet. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Grillable Cheese Sausages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheese-bangers.md) - [Grill-Friendly Cheese Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cypressa-grilling-cheese.md) - [Grillable Mozzarella Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galbani-grill.md) - [Ultra-Meltable Cheese Innovations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grilling-cheese-1.md) - [Soft-Ripened Grilling Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brie-for-grilling.md) - [Spicy Halloumi Kebabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chilli-halloumi-kebabs.md) - [Ready-to-Cook Marinated Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rougette-bonfire-marinated-cheese.md) - [Plant-Based Mediterranean Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mediterraneaninspired-cheese-blocks.md) - [Chickpea-Based Cheese Alternatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheeze-blocks.md)
