The Organic Sunflower Mozzarella made by the artisanal vegan cheese brand is prepared from sunflower seeds, which makes it a great alternative to conventional dairy and [nut-based vegan cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-ricotta). As well as being free from nuts, the kosher and gluten-free cheese alternative only contains organic ingredients without soy or dairy. While there are some [vegan pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toppers-pizza-vegan-pizzas) that are made with soy- or cashew-based pizza cheeses, this inventive alternative is a versatile option that can be melted, sliced and grated to form a suitable alternative to Italian dishes that call for cheese. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 46% | 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) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Plant-based Pizza Cheese:** This trend is disrupting the cheese industry, providing opportunities for innovative substitutes and plant-based products. - **Sunflower Seed Products:** This trend is disrupting the snack food industry, providing opportunities for healthy and sustainable alternatives to traditional snack options. - **Artisanal Vegan Cheeses:** This trend is disrupting the dairy industry with creative and sustainable alternatives to traditional cheese products. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Pizza Industry:** This trend is disrupting the pizza industry, providing opportunities for pizzerias and pizza chains to offer plant-based options and tap into the growing market of consumers seeking plant-based foods. - **Health and Wellness Industry:** This trend is disrupting the health and wellness industry, providing opportunities for companies to offer healthy and sustainable snack options. - **Gourmet Food Industry:** This trend is disrupting the gourmet food industry, providing opportunities for artisanal cheese makers to create innovative and sustainable plant-based cheese alternatives. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Plant-Based Pizza Ingredients](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-pizza-ingredients.md) - [Watermelon Seed-Based Cheese](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/katharos.md) - [Cowless Pizzeria Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-cultures-vegan-cheese.md) - [Fermented Plant-Based Mozzarellas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-based-mozzarella.md) - [Animal-Free Mozzarella Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-culture-animal-free-mozzarella.md) - [Plant-Based Cheese Formulations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-vegan-pizza-recipe.md) - [Mozzarella-Inspired Cheese Alternatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mozzafiore-pearls.md) - [Italian-Style Plant-Powered Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/italian-4-cheeze-style-blend.md) - [Fermented Alt Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vacka.md)
