The product combines [vegan cheese](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jay-joy-albert), coarse mustard and white wine in a recipe that's free from artificial additives. This combination of ingredients yields a slightly spicy flavor and lends itself well to being melted in a pan just until it begins to boil. The organic and protein-rich fondue is ideal for enjoying with everything from vegetables to pieces of bread. Although one small jar may not provide enough of the [cheese-free fondue dip](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheese-bake-fondues) to serve a large group, it is ideal as a ready-to-use and easily made fondue for two. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## 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 Fondue Dips:** The plant-based cheese alternative and vegan-friendly ingredients pave the way for healthier and ethical fondue options. - **Alternative Ingredient Combinations:** The fusion of unconventional seasoning and complementary ingredients unleash a range of creative and unique fondue dip recipes. - **Single Serve Convenience Foods:** There is a growing market for easy-to-make, single-serve fondue dips that cater to the needs and preferences of busy and health-conscious consumers. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** Alternative ingredients and plant-based options are a disruptive innovation opportunity for the food and beverage industry to offer better-for-you fondue products. - **Vegan and Dairy-free Products:** The trend towards dairy-free and vegan products present an opportunity for the industry to expand and cater to the needs of consumers looking for alternative options. - **Convenience and Ready-to-eat Foods:** As consumers prioritize convenience and quality, there is potential for companies to create innovative and gourmet single-serve fondue dip products that address both taste and ease of use. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [At-Home Fondue Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/melting-pot-at-home.md) - [Artisan Cheese Fondues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parmigiano-reggiano-fondue.md) - [Microwaveable Fondue Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microwaveable-fondue-cup.md) - [Cheese-Inspired Vegan Dips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-dip.md) - [Cheesy Dairy-Free Quesos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-queso.md) - [Dairy-Free Sour Cream Dips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sour-cream-and-onion-dip.md) - [At-Home Chocolate Fondues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-home-chocolate-fondue.md) - [Fermented Vegan Cashew Dips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creamy-cashew-dips.md) - [Oil-Based Vegan Cheese Cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheese-cube.md)
