Difference:

Difference between cheese and cream cheese:

Cheese is formed when curdling mold is added to cow's or goat's milk, and then undergoes a series of dewatering - > molding - > addition of salt - > and fermentation maturation. According to the texture can also be divided into soft cheese, semi-hard cheese and hard cheese.

And cream cheese is not added to the curdled milk mold, so cream cheese and the above la what the origin is not the same. It's just the word "cheese" in the name.

The difference between light cream and butter:

Milk is left to stand for a period of time, the fat in it will slowly float to the top. Using this difference in density, and then through the principle of centrifugation can be separated from the fat layer of milk to get thin cream. Most thin creams have a fat content of between 30% and 40%. Depending on the fat content, it can be divided into light cream and heavy cream.

Light cream, also called light cream, has a fat content of <36%.

Heavy cream is also called high-fat cream or heavy cream and has a fat content of >36%.

Butter: It is also called cream in some places. It is mainly the fat portion that is further separated from thin cream as raw material. Its fat content is more than 80%, mainly saturated fatty acids, containing less water.
