A TASTE OF OUR STORY
Shades of creamy white. Alluring textures. It all starts at the highest quality dairy farms in central Wisconsin and upstate New York, where we locally source fresh milk and fresh cream to create the rich, yet balanced, flavors you know and love. The entire journey from farm to fridge takes just six days.
But we don’t stop at farm fresh milk and real cream. We also use carefully selected fresh fruit and vegetables, and never add artificial preservatives, dyes, or flavors in any Philadelphia Cream Cheese products.
Our dedication to craftsmanship, quality, and simplicity provides an experience that you don’t just taste, you feel.
