Cream is a dairy product composed of the higher-fat layer skimmed from the top of milk before homogenization. It is available in various forms, including heavy cream, light cream, and whipping cream, each differing in fat content and intended culinary uses. Cream is widely utilized in cooking, baking, and as an ingredient in sauces, desserts, and beverages, adding richness and flavor. Cream cheese, a soft, spreadable cheese made from cream and milk, is characterized by its mild taste and creamy texture. Often used as a spread, in dips, and in desserts like cheesecakes, cream cheese is a versatile ingredient in both savory and sweet applications. Processed cheese, on the other hand, is produced by combining natural cheese with emulsifiers and other ingredients to create a uniform texture that melts smoothly, making it popular for cooking, snacks, and ready-to-eat meals.

In particular, the rise of gourmet cooking and the trend toward indulgent desserts have fueled demand for both cream and cream cheese. North America is a significant market for these products, with a substantial share attributed to the consumer preference for high-fat dairy items in cooking and baking.
