cream cheese

It is a modern, fresh cheese made of cow's milk. It is an acid curd cheese, but unlike cottage cheese, it requires a starter culture of bacteria. It is generally mild and velvety. Sometimes whey powder is added which results in more grainy texture of cheese. Perfect for cheesecakes and baking.
