Some might’ve not tasted the delicious Philadelphia Cream Cheese. This product is a soft, mild-tasting cheese with a high fat content. Stabilizers such as carob bean gum and carrageenan are added.

Recipes for the making of cream cheese can be found in American cookbooks and newspapers beginning in the mid-eighteenth century.

By the second decade of the 19th century, Philadelphia and it's environs had gained a reputation for this cheese. The cheese, however, was produced on family farms and so quantities for distribution were small.

Around 1873, William A. Lawrence, a Chester, NY, dairyman, was the first to mass-produce cream cheese.

In 1873 he purchased a Neufchatel factory and shortly thereafter, by adding cream to the process, was able to create a richer cheese, that he called “cream cheese”.
