Cream Cheese

Cream cheese, also referred to as creamy cheese, is a soft, spreadable fresh cheese with a mild, slightly tangy flavour and a high fat content. It is made from pasteurised cow's milk and cream, resulting in a smooth and creamy texture. In the kitchen, it is most commonly used as a spread for bread, a base for cheesecake, a filling for pancakes, or as an ingredient in dips and sauces. It pairs wonderfully with both sweet and savoury ingredients such as herbs, garlic, smoked salmon, fruit, and honey. Well-known brands include Philadelphia and Almette. Thanks to its mild taste and versatility, it is a favourite ingredient in both modern and traditional cooking.
