Nutritious and Practical Cheese Spread

Cream cheese, or also known as cheese spread, is one of the many types of cheese available in the market. It has a smooth, buttery texture, with a lighter color compared to butter. Unlike other types of cheese that are manufactured through curing process, cheese spread is very soft and melts easily and has a hint of sour, yet savory flavor.
