Is cream cheese real cheese?

I know it originates from French nuefchetel, but is it technically considered cheese?Is cream cheese real cheese?
yes


Cream cheese is a soft, mild-tasting, white cheese that contains at least 33% milkfat (as marketed) with a moisture content of not more than 55%, and a pH range of 4.4 to 4.9. [1] It is sold in brick form or in a small, tub-like container. Variety brands add such additional seasonings as garlic, dill, and olives. Cream cheese differs from other cheese in that it is not allowed time to mature and is meant to be consumed fresh. It is a primary ingredient in cheesecake and other desserts, and is often spread on bagels and eaten with lox (smoked salmon). On bagels, cream cheese is sometimes referred to by the Yiddish word schmear.Is cream cheese real cheese?
NO!!!!!!!!
Yes it is a dairy product deriving from cream, which makes it cheese.
It's ';cheese'; in the same sense as Ricotta, Mozarella, and queso fesco are considered ';cheese';. They haven't fermented, but they have formed into solids and there's not a better category to lump them into for cooking purposes.





Would a purist consider it to be in the same class as a beautiful Roguefort? No...but then they would probably have a problem with Velveeta, too.





Regardless of how you classify it, it's still delicious and makes a phenomenal dessert.
No its not


its a yogurt based dairy product produced by skimming the cream off of the milk. its not aged like cheese is, as we know it.
