Americans’ love of cheese is showing up not just on the plate, but in the grocery aisle.
A new survey of 5,000 consumers recently found that 73% say they always or often always buy cheese when they shop, showing just how much of a regular staple it has become in everyday grocery carts. The research also suggests cheese has increasingly become viewed as both a comfort food and a practical way to add nutrition, especially protein, to everyday meals and snacks.
The survey was conducted by Talker Research and commissioned by Undeniably Dairy in honor of National Dairy Month, which begins with National Cheese Day on June 4. It explored how Americans consume cheese, which varieties they prefer and why it continues to play a central role in modern diets.
