Cream Cheese
Cream cheese can be classified as a soft cheese. Its manufacture is very similar to that described above, but it is made from cream rather than milk. A typical cream cheese is a soft bodied, unripened cheese with a rich, full and mildly acid flavour. It has a rather granular texture, buttery consistency and a high content of milk fat which gives it a creamy appearance. It is usually moulded into small cylindrical, square, rectangular or round shapes of varying sizes. There are two recognised varieties of cream cheese - single cream cheese or double cream cheese.
