Philadelphia Original Cream Cheese vs Philadelphia Whipped Cream Cheese Spread, 8 oz

Buy Original for baking, cooking, dense spreads and larger households; buy Whipped for light spreading, dipping and smaller portions. Original is the firmer, richer block-style spread with more fat, calories and protein per serving, and it holds up in recipes where whipped would collapse. Whipped is fluffier, lower in fat and calories per serving, and easier to spread straight from the fridge, but it is sold in smaller tubs and does not substitute well in baked dishes. Both are the same brand with no artificial preservatives, flavors or dyes, and owners rate the whipped version highly for texture and spreadability.

• Choose the Philadelphia Original if you bake, cook, or want a dense spread that holds its shape and comes in a large tub.
• Choose the Philadelphia Whipped if you mostly spread on bagels and dip vegetables, and prefer a lighter, fluffier texture in a smaller tub.
