Philadelphia Original Cream Cheese vs Dutch Farms Cream Cheese 8 oz

Buy Philadelphia if you want the benchmark cream cheese for bagels, cheesecake and frosting. Its 61% fat in dry matter and fresh milk and real cream give a denser, tangier, creamier result that most tasters and bakers expect. Dutch Farms is a solid everyday brick with no preservatives and a milder, slightly lighter body, but it is the budget-minded alternative rather than the upgrade.

• Choose the Philadelphia if you bake cheesecake or frosting, want the classic tang and body, or need a brick that holds up in recipes.
• Choose the Dutch Farms if you want a plain, no-preservative brick for toast and quick spreads and don't need the richer, denser Philadelphia texture.
