10. Cream Cheese

Cream cheeses are very soft cheese, with a creamy texture from which they get their name. They are great with crackers and similar and are sometimes used to add a different dimension to salads. Their creamy texture also makes them easy to spread, making them ideal for spreading on bagels and croissants.

Cream cheese can also be frozen, but you are likely to lose much of its wonderfully creamy texture, with it becoming quite crumbly instead. This means it is not really the best candidate for freezing, although frozen cream cheese can still be suitable for making cheesecakes and similar. If you do choose to freeze cream cheese, it should be used within 2 months.
