Cheese is a quintessential burger component. According to Datassential’s
2024 Burger Keynote Report, some of the most appealing cheeses to
consumers when ordering a burger include cheddar, American, Monterey
Jack, Swiss, pepper Jack, and cheese sauce. Depending on the
generation, certain cheeses hold more appeal than others, though. For
instance, Gouda, asiago, and cheese sauce all hold higher appeal among
Gen Z and Millennials. Beyond just cheese, consider capitalizing on next level burger toppings, such as fried cheese curds, mac & cheese, and more that can take the familiar concept to new heights.
