2 tablespoon (medium) of Spreadable fresh cheese (30 g) has 66 calories. That works out to 220 calories per 100 g. It contains 1.2 g of carbs, 2.3 g of protein, 6 g of fat and 0 g of fiber. Its 0.2 µg of B12 covers 9% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 30 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Spreadable fresh cheese is a soft, fresh dairy cheese with a smooth, creamy consistency that is easy to spread. Its flavour is mild and gently milky, making it a simple choice for toast, sandwiches and savoury snacks. In Turkey, it fits naturally on a breakfast table alongside olives and sliced vegetables, or spread on bread to enjoy with tea; elsewhere, it is also commonly used in sandwiches, dips and canapés.
It is relatively high in fat and has a more modest protein content than many firmer cheeses: a 100 g portion contains 20 g of fat. For a lighter serving, use a thin layer and add fresh vegetables; pair it with whole-grain bread or an egg when you want a more substantial breakfast.

Low
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

No, spreadable fresh cheese is not always the same as cream cheese. Both are soft and easy to spread, but their ingredients, acidity, moisture, and richness can differ, so they may not behave identically in recipes.
Spreadable fresh cheese works well on toast, crackers, and sandwiches, and can be served as a dip with vegetables. Add herbs, pepper, or chopped vegetables for a savoury spread, or pair it with fruit or jam.
Yes, you can cook with spreadable fresh cheese, but it may split or turn grainy over high heat. Stir it into a dish near the end of cooking over low heat, or loosen it with a little warm liquid first.
Yes, spreadable fresh cheese can be used in cheesecake, but its moisture and firmness may differ from the cream cheese a recipe expects. Drain it if it seems watery, and check the filling consistency before baking.
Keep spreadable fresh cheese covered in the refrigerator after opening and use a clean utensil each time. Follow the package’s storage directions and use-by date; discard it if you notice mould, an unusual smell, or a marked change in colour.
Yes, spreadable fresh cheese can be frozen, but thawing often makes it watery or grainy. It may lose its smooth spreading texture, so use thawed cheese in cooked sauces or soups rather than serving it as a fresh spread.
Cream cheese or strained yogurt can substitute for spreadable fresh cheese, depending on the recipe. Cream cheese is often richer, while strained yogurt is tangier and can be thinner; adjust the recipe to get the texture you need.
Yes, spreadable fresh cheese usually contains some lactose because it is made from dairy. The amount varies by product, and it should not be assumed to be lactose-free; people with lactose intolerance may need a specifically labelled alternative.
Yes, spreadable fresh cheese is generally suitable during pregnancy when it is made from pasteurized milk and has been kept refrigerated. Avoid versions made with unpasteurized milk, and follow the storage and use-by instructions on the package.
Spreadable fresh cheese can release a little liquid as it sits, especially after opening. Stir in a small amount if the cheese otherwise looks and smells normal; discard it if there is mould, an off smell, or substantial unexpected separation.
