- How strong is the chive flavor?
- Mild. Expect a soft onion and fresh-grass note rather than a sharp onion taste. It is closer to plain cream cheese than to a heavy herb dip.
- How should I store it after opening?
- Keep it refrigerated and tightly covered. Use it within about a week of opening, since the chive flavor and freshness fade over time.
- Is it good for cooking?
- It works stirred into scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes or pasta at the end of cooking. High heat dulls the chive flavor, so add it late.
- How does it compare with plain cream cheese?
- It is the same base with chives added, so it is more savory and needs no extra seasoning. Plain is more neutral and better for sweet toppings.
- Does it contain dairy?
- Yes. It is a cream cheese product, so it contains milk and is not suitable for dairy-free or vegan diets.
- Where is the Chive Cream Cheese cheapest?
- At Boichik Bagels, for $7.00, as of our latest check.
