CREAM CHEESE AS A CONDIMENT RESEARCH
As American palates are changing and more varieties are becoming available, consumers and operators are
reaching for a more varied group of sauces instead of the old standbys. Consumers view cream spreads as the
condiment of the sandwich in addition to a slice of cheese versus a replacement to cheese. Cream cheese offers
a new and unique texture and flavor experience for consumers. Cream cheese spreads boosted curiosity, appeal,
and were thought to be more upscale and artisanal than other condiments.
“It seems more creative
or more effort went into
the sauce. Someone had
to make it. It’s a little kind
of a higher end feel to it,
type of thing.”
“I think part of it is
seems premium
because no one
else does it”
