These refrigerated bites are made with Italian-style, [creamy Mascarpone cheese](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/president) and they are ready to be eaten in flavors like salty-sweet caramel, espresso and fruit like lemon and raspberry. As traditional eating patterns change and consumers find themselves snacking more, the global Mascarpone cheese market is growing. Thanks to its unique features and the way it pairs well with both sweet and savory flavors, this form of cheese is often preferred by consumers over other types. These ready-to-eat bites also satisfy consumer demand for natural dairy fats that are sweet, smooth and creamy.
