Both kinds of cheese are imported from northern Italy and "have a depth of richness and flavor that will instantly transport consumers to the countryside of northern Italy." The Stella Parmigiano Reggiano Wedge & Shredded Cup was aged an extra ten months to allow for increased flavor development during the maturation process. It boasts a granular texture with rich flavors. The Stella Grana Padano Wedge, on the other hand, was aged an extra five months, giving the cheese a "medium seasoning" with mellow and nutty flavors. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 11% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 12% - 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 - **Historic Aged Cheeses:** New brands are developing historic aged cheeses. - **Imported Cheeses From Italy:** New cheese brands are focusing on importing aged cheeses from Italy. - **Pdo-certified Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese:** New brands are focusing on using PDO-certified Parmigiano Reggiano cheese for their products. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Cheese Industry:** Cheese companies can explore new opportunities to develop historic aged cheeses for their products. - **Import and Export Industry:** Companies in the import and export industry are seeing renewed demand from consumers who are looking for high-quality specialty foods. - **Specialty Food Retail Industry:** Retailers specializing in gourmet or specialty foods can explore the market for imported and historic aged cheeses from Italy. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [3-Year-Old Parmesan Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parmigiano-reggiano-aged-40-months.md) - [Certified European Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/european-cheese-quality.md) - [Artisan Cheese Fondues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parmigiano-reggiano-fondue.md) - [Aged Cheese Tart Recipes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parmigiano-reggiano-tart.md) - [Educational Cheese Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parmigiano-reggiano-consortium.md) - [Oven-Baked Crispy Cheese Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/granarolo-cheese-crisps.md) - [Flavor-Infused Cheddar Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sartori-cheese.md) - [Flavored Italian Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/belgioioso.md) - [Curated Cheddar Cheese Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kerrygold-graders-select.md)
