About Cream Cheese

Cream cheese is a soft, mild-tasting cheese made from a mix of milk and cream. It has a smooth, spreadable texture and a rich, slightly tangy flavor. Since it’s not aged, it keeps its fresh, creamy taste and is a staple in both sweet and savory dishes.

Pairings

Cream cheese pairs perfectly with bagels, toast, crackers, and fresh fruit. It’s also used in cheesecakes, frostings, dips, and sushi rolls. Try it with smoked salmon, herbs, or honey for a delicious twist.

Funfact:Cream cheese was first made in New York in the late 1800s, and it became world-famous after the invention of Philadelphia Cream Cheese in 1872. Browse All Cheeses →
