Do you buy the full fat one though? All of the light products have stabilisers in them which result in the 'spread' texture, a bit plastic. A cream cheese is just that, a new, fresh cheese, like ricotta. Yes its processed a bit in philly and supermarket equivalents but it should break up a bit like Boursin when spooned or knifed into. Thats what I mean by crumbly, not crumbly like a cheddar.
