How we rate cream cheese brands

Our review compares cream cheese brands on customer satisfaction, so you can find out what other Aussies think about the compared brands before you go ahead with a purchase. Think of it as like asking hundreds of your closest mates which cream cheese brand they think is best!



Canstar Blue surveyed 1,505 Australians for their feedback on the cream cheese brand(s) they’ve purchased and eaten in the last three months.
  • The outcomes reported in these ratings are measured via PureProfile’s accredited online research panel.



Respondents rate their satisfaction with their cream cheese brand(s) from zero to 10, where zero is extremely dissatisfied and 10 is extremely satisfied. Brand satisfaction was rated by respondents on the following criteria:
  • Value for money: quality and quantity of product for price paid.
  • Variety and range: good range of product options.
  • Taste: as expected from flavour description.
  • Packaging: provides sufficient information, easy to use, easy to store, functional.
  • Texture: as expected for product.
