# Snackable Ricotta Cups RifRaf Ricotta Cups are Being Introduced in Both Sweet and Savory Flavors By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2018-04-21 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ricotta-cups References: [rifraf](http://www.rifraf.com/) Ricotta is often worked into summer salads, [pastas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stuffed-frozen-pasta) and other parts of meals, but RifRaf is set to get consumers thinking about the cheese as a satisfying [on-the-go snack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prairie-farms-propack-snack). RifRaf Ricotta Cups are being introduced as products that are somewhere in between a yogurt and a [cottage cheese](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/all-things-dairy-cottage-cheese), but just as versatile as both; RifRaf Ricotta Cups are offered in flavors like Meyer Lemon and Wildflower honey, as well as savory Serrano Pepper Honey and Sun-Dried Tomato. Since there are jams, honeys and sauces that accent the flavors of the ricotta, the product packaging boasts a dual compartment system to keep the contents separated. The whole milk ricotta used in the cups is made from the milk of grass-fed cows and takes the form of a lightly cultured dairy product. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% 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's Driving This Trend - **Portable Ricotta Snacks:** RifRaf Ricotta Cups introduce a convenient and versatile way to enjoy ricotta cheese on-the-go. - **Flavored Ricotta Products:** The introduction of flavors like Meyer Lemon and Serrano Pepper Honey in RifRaf Ricotta Cups adds variety and innovation to the ricotta cheese market. - **Dual Compartment Packaging:** The dual compartment packaging of RifRaf Ricotta Cups ensures the separation of the ricotta cheese from jams, honeys, and sauces, creating a convenient and mess-free snacking experience. ### Who This Affects Most - **Dairy Products:** The introduction of flavored ricotta cups presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the dairy products industry, offering a new way to diversify and capture market share. - **Convenience Snacks:** The portable nature of RifRaf Ricotta Cups taps into the growing demand for convenient and healthy on-the-go snacks, presenting an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the convenience snacks industry. - **Food Packaging:** The dual compartment packaging of Ricotta Cups presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the food packaging industry, catering to the need for convenient and hygienic packaging solutions for snackable dairy products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cottage Cheese Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prairie-farms.md) - [Protein-Packed Snack Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volpi-foods-snack-cups.md) - [Grab-and-Go Charcuterie Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volpi-snack-cups.md) - [Baked Lemon Ricottas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baked-lemon-ricotta.md) - [Baked Ricotta Cheese Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cassata-baked-ricotta-cheese.md) - [Goat Cheese Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chevoo.md) - [Nut-Based Ricotta Alternatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-ricotta.md) - [Foodie-Friendly Rice Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/riviana-foods-minute-rice-cups.md) - [Oven-Baked Crispy Cheese Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/granarolo-cheese-crisps.md)
