Who Doesn't USE Cream Cheese

Philadelphia Original Cream Cheese is one of my favorites. It has a rich, creamy texture and a smooth, delicious flavor that works great on bagels, toast, and crackers. I also use it for cooking and baking because it blends easily and gives recipes a nice, creamy taste.

Please Return to Original Ingredients

This used to be the only brand I'd buy, but ever since gums have been added, it no longer works in recipes. I don't care if the FDA approves of gums, they taste bad and literally muck up recipes. From cheesecake to frostings, every recipe turns out gooey instead of light and fluffy. So disappointing.

    Perfectly Creamy & Delicious

    The taste and creamy texture are excellent. It pairs perfectly with bagels and spreads so easily. I also love using it to make tiramisu—it has become an essential ingredient in my kitchen.

    the only cream cheese that consistently survives b

    this is one of those products where you don't really think about it until you try a cheaper version and immediately regret it. the texture is actually smooth and spreadable instead of acting like refrigerated drywall on a bagel. i've also used it for random cooking stuff like pasta sauces and dips and it melts in way better than most store brands. the taste is simple but in a good way, and it consistently feels fresh instead of weirdly sour after opening. honestly just one of those basic fridge staples that somehow every household ends up having for a reason

    Better than Store Brands

    There are products where I will buy store brands to save money. Cream cheese is not one of them. There is a noticeable difference in the flavor of the Philadelphia brand. It is also easier to get Philadelphia out of the foil packaging than some store brands.

    That's awesome

    Philadelphia cream cheese offers a smooth and creamy experience that feels rich yet balanced. The packaging is practical and keeps the product fresh, with a clean design that is easy to recognize in stores. Its aroma is mild, slightly milky, and very inviting without being overpowering. The flavor is creamy, slightly tangy, and perfect for both sweet and savory dishes. In terms of price, it is a bit higher than some alternatives, but the quality justifies it. The appearance is soft, white, and spreadable, making it visually appealing and easy to use. Overall, Philadelphia is a reliable product that delivers consistent taste and texture for everyday meals and snacks. I would highly recommend it for any kitchen every single day.

    Love love LOVE. Rich in flavor, versatile product

    Delicious! The best cream cheese you'll ever purchase! Not messy, easy clean up with being in a foil pack. I LOVE using this for my peanut butter pies - it makes them so creamy and rich. You can use cream cheese for so many different recipes. I love to keep it in the house for snacking, putting on crackers or peppers with some everything seasoning. All in all for the price / you are getting wonderful quality!

    I like it very much! Definitely recommend!

    I really like this cream cheese. I add it both for baking and on sandwiches. It tastes better with salted fish. And also with sausage. I'll also make a cream out of it for desserts. I add cream and cottage cheese. It turns out very tasty.

    Have used Philadelphia for years

    I am so disappointed in the Philadelphia cream cheese these days. They are now adding carob bean gum in it and the taste is very odd. IN fact when you make cheese cake the sugar enhances the carob bean taste. It ruined my Christmas cheesecake, and made me sick to my stomach. I only put one star because I had to.

    10/10 good for dips

    This is absolutely perfect for a strawberry cream cheese dip. The cream cheese is easy to get and spread. It is soft enough to use a d storing it in either a fridge or freezer is easy. Thawing it takes some time if stored I. The freezer. It is delicious and good on toast. But I prefer using the blocks for dishes and desserts.

    The taste is mild and rich !

    Philadelphia Original Cream Cheese (8 oz brick) is a classic staple. It has a smooth, creamy texture and spreads easily, making it perfect for bagels, toast, or baking. The taste is mild and rich, not too tangy, which works well for both sweet and savory dishes. It's especially great for cheesecake because it blends perfectly.

    Smooth, creamy, and flavorful—perfect for everyday

    I really enjoyed this cream cheese. The flavor is rich, smooth, and slightly tangy, making it perfect for both sweet and savory dishes. It spreads easily on bagels and toast, specially when softened, and melts nicely when used in cooking. The texture is creamy and consistent, without being too heavy. The aroma is mild and pleasant, and the aftertaste is clean with no artificial feel.

    Excelente producto

    It is my favorite cream cheese, its versatility is abundant since it can be mixed and applied to different products causing a surprise to your palate , in terms of quantity I almost always buy this portion of 8oz since it is neither much nor little it is perfect for me, it should not be preserved outside the cold to avoid its decomposition and contamination and to be able to maintain its texture and flavor

    Best cream cheese.

    So I've recently entered into my *that mom that bakes era* and I've tried all “cheaper” options to use when creating icings and cheesecakes and there is not a comparison to this cream cheese vs. others. The consistency is always there smooth and blendable. The taste is super yummy. And it stores in the fridge well without becoming gross. I'll continue to keep this in stock in our fridge whether it's for home made cinnamon rolls or bagels before school.

    Perfect taste!

    I have always used Philadelphia cream cheese but a ton of recipes. The quality and taste has always been superior to any other brand! My cheesecakes come out amazing and I always use it for some of my cakes recipes and it helps to enhance the flavor and the moisture on them!

    Cream cheese

    This is the creamist of cream cheeses. It melts so much better then other brands. The flavor is spot on! Other brands have such a different taste and texture but Philadelphia brand is amazingly creamy, soft, it is so spreadable where others clump up. I really enjoyed this brand!!
