Quite simply, we collect some of the naturally occurring protein in milk, and carefully add more of it back into skimmed milk or our NEW semi skimmed milk. It's this extra protein which makes Arla B.O.B milk taste so good. We've spent years perfecting Arla B.O.B to make sure it's as fresh and tasty as possible.

The bottom line Cream cheese is a versatile dairy spread. It's a good source of vitamin A and doesn't provide much lactose. However, it's low in protein and high in fat and calories, so it's best to use it in moderation.
