CREAM CHEESE FLAVOUR COMBINATIONS
I like to add fresh herbs, chopped olives, sun dried tomatoes or even tuna to make different flavour cheese. The options are endless.
This cream cheese is quite robust and can take strong flavours and still be very delicious, so you can play with all the flavour combination to find the perfect for you.
