Tillamook Launches Brick Cream Cheese, made with EXTRA Cream

Shoppers will soon have another extraordinary choice in their cream cheese brick selection

TILLAMOOK, Ore. – Have you, like many bakers, stood in front of the cold case at your local grocer and stared indecisively at a sea of cream cheese? Looking…for…something else? Tillamook sees you (aren’t you cold?). Tillamook County Creamery Association (TCCA) is pleased to announce your soon-to-be favorite Brick Cream Cheese. We have created a creamy cream cheese brick like no other – as in, we added more milkfat by weight (derived from cream) than required for cream cheese, resulting in an extra creamy, extraordinary, cream cheese. 

The new Tillamook Brick Cream Cheese has extraordinary real cream cheese flavor, delivering a balance of sweet cream and tangy flavor without gums or preservatives. Which is good, because Americans enjoy their cream cheese: consuming just under 3 pounds per person each year. Bakers and cream cheese enthusiasts alike will find the new Tillamook Brick Cream Cheese decadent, rich, and velvety-smooth, perfect for baking or cooking, whether making a Cranberry Cream Pie or a 3 Cheese Artichoke Dip.

“Tillamook consumers have been asking for a brick cream cheese for a long time! Historically, there hasn’t been much variety and the shelf was ripe for a premium, extra creamy, Brick Cream Cheese,” said Stephanie Carson, Senior Director of Category Growth, TCCA. “Tillamook Brick Cream Cheese is made with the highest quality ingredients. In our opinion, this cream cheese, like all our products, tastes better because it’s made better, whether you’re adding it to a soup, baking a cheesecake, or spreading on a bagel.”

The new Tillamook Brick Cream Cheese joins the brand’s award-winning Cream Cheese Spreads portfolio which boasts five bold flavors: Original, Seriously Strawberry, Very Veggie, Chive & Onion and Jalapeño Honey. And not to brag, but the Tillamook Cream Cheese Spreads are the fastest-growing soft cream cheeses in the country, out-pacing Philadelphia®, Kite Hill®, and private-label brands.

Tillamook Brick Cream Cheese is available across the country at Target, Kroger, Albertsons, Safeway and many other grocery stores. Find it at a store near you at Tillamook.com/where-to-buy and learn more at Tillamook.com
