- Is Tillamook cream cheese good for cheesecake and frosting?
- It works but is softer than Philadelphia, so frostings and cheesecake can come out looser. Chill the brick well and add less liquid, or use a firmer brand for structure.
- How does it compare with Philadelphia?
- Tillamook is softer out of the fridge, has a shorter ingredient list and a slightly tangier taste. Philadelphia is denser and holds shape better in baking.
- Does it contain gums or preservatives?
- No. It is made from cream and skim milk with no gums or preservatives, which is why it feels softer and separates slightly if left warm.
- How should I store it and how long does it keep?
- Keep it refrigerated and use within the date on the package. Once opened, wrap it tightly and use within about a week.
- Is it plain or flavored?
- It is plain cream cheese with no fruit or added flavor, so it suits both spreading and recipes.
