About Cream cheese
Cream cheese is a smooth, mildly tangy fresh cheese made from a blend of milk and cream. Originating in the United States during the late 1800s, it has become a versatile staple in cuisines worldwide. Typically rich in fat, cream cheese provides a creamy texture and is commonly used as a spread, in desserts such as cheesecakes, or in savory dishes. It is a good source of calcium, supporting bone health, and offers small amounts of protein. However, it is also high in saturated fat and should be consumed in moderation, especially for those managing cholesterol levels. Variants such as reduced-fat or flavored versions are available, offering options for various dietary needs. While not packed with essential nutrients, cream cheese can be a satisfying inclusion in a balanced diet when paired with healthier foods like whole-grain bread, fresh vegetables, or fruits.
