The product is now made with chickpea protein which contributes to the taste profile, as well as its texture. In addition to no dairy, the [vegan cheese blend](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daiya-foods-and-microsalt) also contains no gluten, soy, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish, making it ideal for those on a stricter diet. Aside from the 'Cheddar & Mozza Blend,' the Cutting Board Cheeze Shreds also includes Pepperjack Style, Cheddar Style, and [Mozzarella Style](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mozzafiore-pearls). The format—that is, the shreds that the product comes in—is quite convenient and perfect for when one is [making a pizza](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diavola-pizza) or is looking to top off a meal, without any fuss. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/branding) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Vegan Cheese Alternatives:** Opportunity for innovators to create new and improved formulas for dairy-free cheese blends using alternative plant proteins. - **Gluten-free Food Options:** Disruptive innovation potential in developing gluten-free dairy substitutes to cater to those with strict dietary restrictions. - **Convenient Dairy Substitutes:** Opportunity to create easy-to-use and fuss-free shreds and blends for topping off meals or incorporating into recipes. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Plant-based Food Industry:** Innovative plant-based companies can capitalize on the demand for vegan cheese blends and other dairy substitutes. - **Health Food Industry:** Companies in the health food industry can tap into the gluten-free market by offering dairy alternatives free of gluten and other allergens. - **Convenience Food Industry:** Opportunity for food companies to develop convenient and practical dairy substitutes for quick and easy meal preparation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chickpea-Based Cheese Alternatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheeze-blocks.md) - [Spice-Packed Alt Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dairyfree-cheeses.md) - [Melty Alt Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dairy-free-cheese-alternatives.md) - [Plant-Based Cheese Formulations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-vegan-pizza-recipe.md) - [Reformulated Plant-Based Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daiya-blocks.md) - [Plant-Based Mediterranean Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mediterraneaninspired-cheese-blocks.md) - [Herbaceous Plant-Based Spreads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cream-cheeze.md) - [Enhanced Dairy-Free Spreads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daiya-dairyfree-cream-cheese.md) - [Versatile Plant-Based Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-cheeses.md)
