This new flavor from the trusted [plant-based cheese brand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/happy-farms-cream-cheese-spread) is made with real pieces of roasted garlic and herbs in a decadent, super creamy plant-based cream cheeze spread. The [free-from spread](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/all-things-butter-spreadable) is made without dairy, gluten, soy, peanuts and other common allergens, which is part of the reason that it appeals to such a broad audience—aside from its craveable texture and rich flavor. This savory, plant-powered spread has the potential to complement both warm and cold dishes and its ultra-creamy texture promises to help people say goodbye to torn-up bagels and toast that's ruined by tough-to-spread cream cheese. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 36% | Freshness: 11% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 - **Plant-based Spreads:** There is an opportunity for companies to innovate and expand their plant-based spread offerings to appeal to a wider audience such as vegans and flexitarians. - **Free-from Products:** As the demand for allergen-free products grows, companies have an opportunity to create more dairy-free, gluten-free, and soy-free products to appeal to a broader consumer base. - **Decadent Texture:** Texture is an important aspect of food, and companies can differentiate themselves in the market by creating spreads with a more decadent and creamy texture that can enhance the eating experience. ### Where This Applies - **Food Manufacturing:** Companies in the food manufacturing industry can take advantage of the demand for plant-based and allergen-free products and create new and innovative product offerings. - **Retail:** Retail companies can capitalize on the growth of plant-based and free-from product trends by expanding their offerings and targeting health-conscious and environmentally conscious consumers. - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry can innovate and offer more plant-based and allergen-free options in their menus to cater to a wider range of consumers and accommodate various dietary needs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Enhanced Dairy-Free Spreads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daiya-dairyfree-cream-cheese.md) - [Extra-Creamy Plant-Based Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boursin-plantbased.md) - [Plant-Based Cream Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-cream-cheese-1.md) - [Cultured Cream Cheese-Style Spreads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uncreamcheese.md) - [Plant Milk Cheese Spreads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-milk-cheese-spreads.md) - [Plant-Based Cheese Spreads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-garlic-herbs-cheese-spread.md) - [Dairy-Free Jalapeño Cheese Spreads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jalapeo-cheese-spread.md) - [Plant-Based Cream Cheese Spreads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oatly-4.md) - [Spreadable Plant-Based Cream Cheese](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-laughing-cow-1.md)
