January 23, 2026 – While cheddar and parmesan remain the top cheese ingredients used in new food products, niche cheese ingredients are cashing in on the consumer desire for more global, comfort and indulgent foods. This has driven the growth in cheese-based innovation across many food subcategories in the dairy, frozen, produce and bakery departments as well as center-store staples such as snacks, soups and table sauces.
