What is Arla Cream Cheese?
Arla Cream Cheese is a soft, spreadable dairy product with a smooth texture and a mild, slightly tangy taste. It’s commonly spread on toast, bagels or crackers, or used to add creaminess to sandwiches and dips. Serve it chilled, or let it soften briefly so it spreads easily.
It provides calcium and some protein, while its rich, creamy character makes it more of a spread than a main protein source; there are 5.5 g of protein per 100 g. A thin layer with sliced vegetables makes a simple snack, and it also works well stirred into sauces or mashed potatoes.
