Cream cheese refers to the soft, spreadable white cheese that is consumed fresh. Versions of this cheese were made in France as far back as the 1650s, but in 1880, a well-known New York cheese manufacturer, A.L. Reynolds, began to distribute the cheese in the familiar foil wrapping.
A 1-oz. serving of the Philadelphia Original Cream Cheese contains 100 calories. Of those calories, 80 come from fat, according to the nutrition label. If you eat 2,000 calories a day, a serving of the original cream cheese amounts to 5 percent of your total daily caloric intake. Philadelphia's Neufchatel cream cheese has one-third less fat than the original.
