The global food industry is undergoing rapid transformation, mainly influenced by Gen Z and Gen Alpha. These two generations have preferences and values that differ significantly from those of previous generations. In today’s culinary world, they expect more than just good taste. They seek food that is healthy, sustainable, and aligned with their fast-paced, creative lifestyles. This shift has had a major impact on how cheese and other dairy products are developed and positioned.
Rethinking Cheese, What Younger Consumers Really Want
According to Mintel, younger consumers are becoming more selective in what they eat. They are drawn to cheese that not only tastes good but also delivers functional benefits and nutritional value. Responding to this demand, Hunter Dairy by PT Gala Natura Kreasi offers versatile and nutritious dairy solutions.
Available in forms like cheese powder and cream powder.Hunter Dairy is perfect for bread-based creations, whether it’s savory pastries, cheese-filled buns, or soft rolls. Made from natural ingredients and processed with modern fermentation methods, it delivers consistent flavor and quality, even in long storage or under air frying.
Social Media and the Rise of Cheese-Inspired Food Exploration
In Asia, including Indonesia, cheese is still unfamiliar to many younger consumers. Social media helps make cheese more approachable through trends like “girl dinner” and fusion cuisine, which reflect how Gen Z and Gen Alpha value creativity in food. Hunter Dairy supports this with easy-to-use ingredients that enhance diverse flavor experiences.
The Future of Dairy, Driven by the Next Generation
Cheese is no longer just a topping, but a core ingredient that adds both flavor and nutrition. For food businesses aiming to stay relevant with younger consumers, now is the time to embrace modern dairy solutions. Hunter Dairy is ready to support that shift with products designed for the next generation.
