Philadelphia’s Lactose-Free Cream Cheese

Lactose-free cream cheese from a well-known brand in the United States has been long overdue and is one of the reasons why Philadelphia has stepped in to be one of the first to make it for its customers with dietary needs or preferences. 

“For too long, many lactose-intolerant consumers have had to miss out on cream cheese and some of the foods they love most,” said Maddy Zingle, Vice President of Marketing at Philadelphia Cream Cheese. “Philadelphia Lactose Free changes that. From a perfectly schmear-ed bagel to a homemade cheesecake, fans can once again enjoy their favorite recipes without sacrificing the rich, creamy taste they expect from Philadelphia. It also opens the door to new creamy possibilities in the kitchen, transforming any dish from good to Really Philly Good.”

While this lactose-free cream cheese from the brand may seem like a surprise, the brand has been working for more than two years to perfect its formula. You might be wondering how exactly Philadelphia has made this cream cheese deliver when it comes to maintaining that beloved taste of its original product. First and foremost, this lactose-free cream cheese is made with real dairy. As if that wasn’t enough, this lactose-free cream cheese doesn’t contain any added dyes, flavors, or preservatives, so you can rest assured you won’t be putting anything into your body that you don’t want to be. One of the main differences between this version and the original is that this one contains a lactase enzyme to help facilitate more comfortable digestion. 

When And Where To Buy Philadelphia Lactose Free

While this lactose-free cream cheese from Philadelphia is not yet available to purchase, you can look forward to seeing it on shelves at nationwide retailers come August. One of the best parts is that this cream cheese will not cost more—you can expect to pay the same price as you would for its original counterpart.
