Though the cheese is made without any dairy, it is handmade in small batches and has a rich taste that puts it on par with even the most elegant dairy cheeses. In terms of flavor profile, Pure Abundance Cashew Cheese has a bright flavor that brings to mind citrus before mellowing to a smooth, round finish. The cheese is covered in a dusting of organic basil, parsley, and thyme, adding to the flavor and giving it a appearance worthy of a [cheese plate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-dairy). Refrigerated, Pure Abundance Cashew Cheese is hard enough to be sliced, grated, or crumbled. At room temperature, it is [soft enough to be spread](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daiya-dairyfree-cream-cheese). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 23% | 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) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Dairy-free Cheese Alternatives:** Creating more innovative and delicious dairy-free cheese alternatives using ingredients like cashews. - **Plant-based Cheese:** Developing plant-based cheese products that can rival the taste and texture of traditional dairy cheeses. - **Handcrafted Small Batch Foods:** Focusing on handcrafted and small batch production methods to create high-quality and artisanal food products. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Vegan Food Products:** Capitalizing on the growing demand for vegan food products by offering a wide range of dairy-free cheese alternatives. - **Plant-based Food Industry:** Expanding the plant-based food industry by innovating and improving the taste, texture, and variety of plant-based cheese products. - **Specialty Food Market:** Targeting the specialty food market with handcrafted and small batch foods that offer unique flavors and high-quality ingredients. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [French-Style Cashew Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alpine-svviss.md) - [Squeezable Cashew Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloud-cheese.md) - [Vegan Cottage Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nondairy-cashew-cottage-cheese.md) - [Cashew-Based Cream Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nuttin-ordinary.md) - [Accessible Non-Dairy Spreads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/healthy-cheese-alternatives.md) - [Plant-Powered Spreadable Crèmes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brie-creme.md) - [Handmade Cashew-Based Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-cheese-brand.md) - [Nut-Based Ricotta Alternatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-ricotta.md) - [Dairy-Free Goat Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dairyfree-goat-cheese.md)
