What kind of cheese in cream cheese?

Cream cheese is not made from another type of cheese. It's a fresh cheese made from cow's milk (or sometimes goat's milk or a combination of both).

Here's how it's made:

1. Pasteurization: Milk is heated to kill bacteria.

2. Culturing: Bacteria cultures are added to the milk, which helps to thicken it.

3. Adding cream: Cream is added to the milk to increase the fat content.

4. Draining: The mixture is drained to remove whey, leaving behind a thick, creamy cheese.

So, cream cheese isn't "made from" another cheese, it's a unique cheese type on its own!
