Cheese sales growth, while not explosive, continues to show steady year-over-year gains. For the 52 weeks ending Jan. 25, the natural cheese category saw a 2% increase in dollar sales to $21 billion and a 2% rise in unit sales to 5.2 billion, according to Circana.

Over the past several years, the phrase “a win is a win” has been used by many athletes, often in reference to winning a game or match without a dominant performance. The phrase applies aptly to the overall frozen novelty category.

Overall, it has been a strong past 52 weeks for cheese, especially when looking at the natural cheese category. There were some pockets of weakness however, mainly the processed cheese and grated cheese subcategories, according to Chicago-based market research firm Circana’s data for the 52 weeks ending Jan. 26.
