About Cream cheese, low fat

Low-fat cream cheese is a reduced-fat, soft cheese product with a smooth, spreadable texture. It is made from dairy ingredients, but its recipe and degree of fat reduction vary by producer; the name does not establish a single formulation.

It is commonly spread on bread or used in dips, fillings, and baking. It is typically pale and mild with a slight tang, though texture and richness can differ from regular cream cheese. It may be sold in blocks or tubs, and these forms can behave differently in recipes.
