Zingerman's Handmade Cream Cheese

Cheese made like it was 100 years ago.

To be honest, there's really nothing "fancy" at all about this cream cheese. No secret ingredients, no secret recipe, nothing hidden. Like breads from Zingerman's Bakehouse or good cheese from any of the dozens of tradition-minded makers we buy from, this cream cheese is simply made the way it would have been done ages ago. It trades cost and efficiency for fuller flavor.

So what about doing it the old way makes it taste so good?

Our cream cheese is hand ladled, which protects the curd's delicate texture. And because there are no added vegetable gums, preservatives, artificial additives or sweeteners, the flavor is way better—more direct. You'll find it's softer, lighter, fresher tasting than any cream cheese you've ever tried.

Don't just limit this great stuff to bagels. Mix a spoonful into pasta tomato sauces. Smear some on a slice of toasted chocolate sourdough or cranberry pecan bread. Top toasted farm bread with a dollop then pour on extra virgin olive oil, a pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

First-place winner at the American Cheese Society awards.
