Using its sharp white cheddar, Tillamook created the world's first-ever Aged Cheddar Cream Cheese Spread, which is being introduced alongside a range of other new Farmstyle Cream Cheese Spreads. As a whole, these cream cheese spreads are made without gums, fillers or preservatives, offering bold flavor experiences from only real ingredients.
While the rich and creamy Aged Cheddar variety offers a sharp flavor, the Original comes together with just four ingredients. The Tillamook Farmstyle Cream Cheese Spread also share sweet and savory options like the Seriously Strawberry spread, made with real berries, and the Very Veggie variety that's prepared with six vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, cucumbers and onions.
