About Cheese, cream

Cream cheese is the soft, smooth, mild spread that goes on bagels and into cheesecake, frostings and dips. Made from cream and milk and eaten fresh rather than aged, it's rich and gently tangy, with a texture built for spreading.

As the name suggests, it's high in fat — far more than it is in protein — which makes it calorie-dense and a more modest source of the calcium and protein found in firmer cheeses. It's a food enjoyed for its richness and texture rather than its nutrition.

A schmear on a bagel or a swirl through a sauce adds a lot of creamy richness; like other high-fat spreads, it's best used with a sense of proportion.
