Cream Cheese Plain

It’s for sure amazing that our Philadelphia-based innovation team has created a cream cheese from oats that tastes as close to dairy cream cheese as our lawyers will allow you to imagine, but let’s keep things focused on describing this product so that you might want to try it. Rich and creamy! Super obvious adjectives, but also totally accurate. This product provides all the savory, tangy goodness of cream cheese without all the “messing with large farm animals without their written consent” part of cream cheese. You can spread it on a hot bagel, or a hot piece of toast, or a hot whatever, and it’ll keep its creamy texture without becoming a drippy mess. Use it in your cooking to add a little creamy “je ne sais quoi,” which is French for “a delightful oat-based cream cheese kick.” No really, look it up, pretty sure that’s what it means.

In order to achieve a perfectly creamy texture that can hold up to hot foods while also being spreadable right out of the fridge, we have added RSPO-certified Identity Preserved palm oil to our cream cheeses. We take the sourcing of our palm oil very seriously, so the following paragraphs about our RSPO-certified palm oil are 100% joke-free:

With roughly one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions coming from the food system, and about half of those emissions coming from livestock or the animal-based sector, the greatest impact we can have as a company is to convert dairy users into Oatly consumers. And to help make that swap easier for people, we are committed to creating the best-tasting and performing oat-based products we possibly can. Which brings us to why our innovation team decided to use palm oil in this cream cheese: They knew they needed a fat that would help make this product creamy, smooth and spreadable (in a dairy cream cheese, this is where animal fat usually comes in). And palm oil delivers. It helps this product taste, perform and behave the way you’d expect a great dairy cream cheese to taste, perform and behave — and it does it better than any other oil we tested.

We are aware of the negative impacts palm oil has historically had on the environments and communities where it’s cultivated. Which is why we are only sourcing RSPO-certified Identity Preserved palm oil. RSPO stands for The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil, which is a global, multi-stakeholder initiative on certified sustainable palm oil products. Its principal objective is to promote the growth and use of sustainable palm oil through cooperation within the supply chain and open dialogue between its stakeholders. Certifications such as RSPO are designed to promote sustainable palm oil production and incorporate stringent environmental and social criteria. RSPO-IP products can be traced back to RSPO certified mills and plantations, and the entire supply chain is monitored by independent, RSPO-accredited auditors.

And now, for the remainder of this website please expect tons of less serious copy and too many attempts at jokes.

Born in our not-so-secret Philadelphia R&D lab. You might even call it a Philadelphia cream cheese, but you also might not. No dairy, no soy, no nuts, no gluten, non-GMO and kosher.
