Cream cheese is a soft, mild, and creamy spread made primarily from milk and cream. It originated in the United States in the late 19th century and is widely used in many cuisines today. Cream cheese contains essential nutrients like calcium and vitamin A, and is rich in fats, including saturated fat. While its creamy texture and tangy taste make it a popular ingredient for both sweet and savory dishes, such as cheesecakes, bagels, and dips, its high fat content and calorie density mean that moderation is key for a healthy diet. Some varieties may also include added stabilizers and salt, which contribute to its smooth consistency and flavor. Low-fat or reduced-fat options are available for those seeking a lighter alternative. Cream cheese pairs well with various fruits, vegetables, and grains, making it a versatile spread enjoyed across the globe.
