Kerrygold Cream Cheese
Kerrygold Cream Cheese is the cream cheese range of Kerrygold, made with cream from grass-fed cows and no gums: Original, Honey, Strawberry and Onion & Chive.
Kerrygold Cream Cheese is the cream cheese range of the Irish brand Kerrygold, owned by the Ornua co-operative. It is a soft fresh spreadable cheese made with cream from cows that graze on grass.
The ingredient list is shorter than in many similar products: cream, skim milk, water, whey, salt and cultures. The maker stresses that it is made without gums, the thickeners often added to cream cheese for a stable texture. The colour is a light ivory, and the texture is thick, creamy and easy to spread.
The range has four flavours: Original, plain and classic; Honey; Strawberry; and Onion & Chive.
How to use it: spread it on bagels, toast and crackers; add it to baking, frostings, cheesecakes, sauces and fillings. The sweet flavours suit breakfast, while Onion & Chive works for snacks and sandwiches with fish or vegetables. Keep it in the fridge and use it within a few days of opening.
Cream cheese belongs to the fresh cheeses: it is not ripened, so it has a mild, milky taste.
Why it matters to you: if a short ingredient list matters to you, check the label for added thickeners.
