These plant-based cheeses were created with cheesemakers in Spain so that consumers can experience the essence of blue and ripened rind cheeses without any actual dairy being involved. The two new cheeses from the new line are True Blue and Bloomy Rind. While the former takes after a classic blue cheese and uses real Penicillium Roqueforti molds like most of the world’s best blue cheeses, it uses cashews. Bloomy Rind is also made from cashews and it's said to have a taste that's both subtle and creamy. Fans of these new ultra-gourmet plant-based artisanal cheeses will be pleased to know that more varieties are set to follow in 2023. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 13% - 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Plant-based Cheeses:** The growing popularity of plant-based foods and the continual demand for dairy-free alternatives are creating a disruptive innovation opportunity for a variety of industries. - **Artisanal Foods:** Consumers are increasingly seeking out niche, high-quality food products, indicating a chance for disruption within the food industry. - **Non-dairy Alternatives:** An increase in demand for non-dairy products is creating an opportunity for innovation in the food industry. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food Manufacturing:** The food manufacturing industry has the opportunity to expand their product lines to cater to the growing demand for plant-based artisanal cheeses. - **Plant-based Foods:** Companies specializing in plant-based foods and non-dairy alternatives have the opportunity to expand their offerings to include niche, high-quality products like Treeline Reserve. - **Grocery and Retail:** Grocery stores can position themselves as a destination for consumers looking for high-quality, artisanal plant-based cheeses as an alternative to traditional cheese offerings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dairy-Free Goat Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dairyfree-goat-cheese.md) - [Plant-Based Blue Cheese Crumbles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bleu-crumbles.md) - [Exceptional Plant-Based Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/julienne-bruno-vegan-cheeses.md) - [Vegan Cottage Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nondairy-cashew-cottage-cheese.md) - [Plant-Powered Spreadable Crèmes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brie-creme.md) - [Naturally Ripened Plant-Based Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/future-of-cheese.md) - [Plant Milk Cheese Spreads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-milk-cheese-spreads.md) - [Versatile Plant-Based Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-cheeses.md) - [French-Style Cashew Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alpine-svviss.md)
