What is Philadelphia Garlic & Herb Cream Cheese?
Philadelphia Garlic & Herb Cream Cheese is a packaged, spreadable cream cheese flavoured with garlic and herbs. Its smooth texture and savoury, gently tangy taste make it easy to spread on toast, crackers or a sandwich. Depending on where you live, it can also work as a bagel topping, a dip for raw vegetables or a quick addition to a wrap.
