Another recent brand mashup released in 2024 was Emmi Roth's
Athenos Feta Cheese Crumbles infused with Tajin. The chili lime
seasoning is often added to sweet fruits, such as mango, and feta
cheese is commonly used in salads with sweet dressings like a
strawberry vinaigrette. The brand collaboration makes it easy for
consumers to try out new Mediterranean and Latin American flavor
fusions at home.
DFW's 2025 trends report said 64% of consumers are " eager to try
new products that incorporate old-world recipes. "
" The opportunity to blend tradition with innovation is vast, as
consumers continue to seek foods that connect them to the past
while delivering modern flavor experiences, " DFW said. " Aged cheddar,
the top-awarded Wisconsin Cheese category, exemplifies this trend,
with gouda and feta also receiving significant recognition. Wisconsin
cheesemakers are at the forefront, experimenting with refined aging
techniques and creative flavor infusions to elevate these classics. "
The report said parmesan led specialty cheese sales in 2024, followed
closely by cheddar. Those two cheeses could be a good place to focus
when developing and promoting new sweet heat flavored products
in 2025.
One cheese that meets this demand is Kiel, Wis.-based Henning's
Cheese's Mango Fire Cheddar Cheese. The cheese comes in 8-ounce
packages and even has usage suggestions on the label, including corn
dip, nachos, tacos and chicken.
The white cheddar cheese mixed with mango and habanero peppers
" starts with a smooth sweet flavor which then ignites your tastes buds
with a little heat for a very pleasant experience, " Henning's Cheese said.
Saputo also launched in 2024 a Hot Honey Cheddar in its
Wensleydale line, imported from the Yorkshire Dales in England. The
product is available in 5.3-ounce wedges.
" Experience an amazing burst of flavor with Wensleydale Creamery
Cheddar Cheese, combined with Honey Powder and Chili Jam, " the
company said. " This savory blend of sweetness and heat is infused in a
firm-bodied cheese with a creamy, buttery texture. Try it melted over a
burger or feature it on a cheese board. "
Swicy pizza saves from boredom
While health and wellness trends take the lead in 2025,
consumers still want indulgent foods like pizza. Many
are experimenting with making their own pizzas at home
with fresher, ingredients. One of the foods Kurtz said he
liked to make the most with Mike's Hot Honey was goat
cheese pizza.
Alternative cheese company Daiya recently developed
a new spicy Diavola flavor of its plant-based, gluten-free
frozen pizza made with its signature Oat Cream blend
Mozzarella. Daiya said 84% of consumers enjoy spicy
dishes and 1 in 3 are eager to try new levels of heat,
adding that more and more consumers are " increasingly
seeking at-home dining experiences that feel like a
restaurant indulgence. "
Specialty cheese companies making sweet heat-flavored
cheeses can lean into this demand for healthier indulgent
foods and highlight their cheeses as fresh, premium
ingredients that can level up pizzas made at home.
John Kelly, chief marketing officer at Daiya, said there is
a lot of skepticism with plant-based cheeses and glutenfree
pizzas. Many consumers with dietary restrictions
have had one too many experiences with bland flavors
and bad textures being their only choices.
For gluten-free consumers, retail stores could
merchandise their premium swicy cheeses with readyto-cook
gluten-free pizza crusts to encourage consumers
not to settle for bland and to experiment with new
flavors they might not even be able to find at on of their
local restaurants.
