The Philadelphia Intense cream cheese is a premium take on the brand's signature product arriving on store shelves in the UK for consumers to try out. The product features a soft, gourmet recipe that's achieved with a blend of intense flavors and features an airy texture that's extra creamy. The cream cheese comes in two flavors including [Herbes de Provence and Garlic & Herbs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saputo-cheeses), which are both great for use in a variety of ways to infuse a burst of creamy flavor.

Brand Manager for Philadelphia at [Mondelēz International](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philadelphia-plant-based) Nancy Gavin commented on the Philadelphia Intense cream cheese saying, "The range will cater to the demand for a more intense flavour and a creamy, spreadable texture. Our research suggests that over half of those buying Philadelphia Intense will come from outside the cream cheese category, allowing retailers to attract new incremental sales too."
