Cheese and cheese products are an integral part of human nutrition. While cheeses were historically dominant on the menu in Europe, today their popularity is worldwide. The expansion took place mainly through the gastronomic sector, where cheese plays one of the leading ingredients in dishes such as pizza, burgers or pasta. These dishes then found favor with all age groups and cultures. As part of the demographic changes in our society (aging population, single-member communities, travel), there is also a development of single-portion packaging of products (snacking). The industry has seen a surge in innovation in recent years, with new products, flavors and formats emerging to meet evolving consumer tastes and preferences. People don't just want to keep cheese in the fridge at home, they want to take it with them to work or on an adventure. This article looks at the history of cheese snacking, highlights current trends, discusses sustainability and packaging aspects, touches on nutritional aspects and highlights some of the new products shaping the future of cheese snacking.
