What is Herb cream cheese?
Herb cream cheese is soft, spreadable cream cheese flavoured with herbs; the blend varies by brand or recipe. Its texture is smooth and creamy, with a mild tang and fresh, savoury notes. It works well spread on toast, bagels or crackers, and is often used in sandwiches or as a simple dip. In Turkey, you may also find it at breakfast with bread and vegetables, alongside tea.
It is rich in fat, relatively low in carbohydrate and provides a modest amount of protein. Pair it with cucumber, tomato or other crisp vegetables, or use a thin layer in a sandwich for plenty of flavour without making the filling too heavy.
