Cheese finding its special niche in China

Cheese finding its special niche in China

Xi Dai, a graduate in her mid-20s, started getting familiar with cheese from a very young age thanks to her family frequently eating out at Western-style restaurants.

"The very first time I tried cheese, it was cooked or baked in pasta or pizza. I loved the smell when melted. It was extremely tasty," said Xi.

She now regularly eats cheese on pizzas or in burgers. Even though Xi likes the taste of cheese on its own, she rarely eats it that way because it does not go well with Chinese meals.

Demand for cheese is expected to keep growing in the coming years amid higher interest in Western cuisine and healthier lifestyle habits in the country.

New Zealand dairy giant Fonterra Co-operative Group Ltd is expanding fast in China thanks to its strategy of selling products to food services clients in the country, including mozzarella and cream cheese.

The company, which foresees ongoing growth in the next five years, is spending heavily to ramp up production volumes outside of its home market to satisfy China's new hunger for processed cheese.

Robert Spurway, managing director of global operations at Fonterra, said: "We have invested more than $170 million in doubling production of mozzarella, cream cheese and processed cheese slices over the past 18 months."

Although not at love at first bite, Chinese have been gradually developing a passion for cheese, evidenced by the solid growth in imports, interest and consumption of the product.

Jin Han, business director at Chinese food importer Shanghai Roria Trading Co, said: "We are seeing continuous expansion in cheese products sales because new consumers are always joining in, while existing consumers are increasing their level of consumption by trying new products."

To reflect this, China's cheese market is expected to be worth 3.55 billion yuan ($570 million) this year, up 24 percent compared with 2014, according to market research firm Euromonitor International Ltd.

By 2017, Euromonitor sees the value of China's cheese market jumping to 5.38 billion yuan.

France-based cheese manufacturer Groupe Bel, owner of the Laughing Cow, Mini Babybel and Kiri brands, started selling cheese products in China in 2007.

Since then, its sales have grown gradually as Chinese become increasingly eager in indulging in new flavors.
