In the US, cream cheese needs to contain at least 33% fat content while in Britain it should be a minimum of 45-65%. Anything above is considered double of triple cream cheese. Cream Cheese is firmed with the use of lactic acid and so needs to be consumed fresh. It has a relatively short life span even refrigerated. Cream Cheese made using traditional methods tend to be more crumbly than spreadable while those with stabilizer like guar gum are more firm.
