I grew up eating a prominent name-brand cream cheese, and I was hesitant to try substituting an off-brand cream cheese such as Great Value. But once I tried the substitution, I was generally pleased with the results. The taste, texture, and thickness of the Great Value cream cheese does seem to be a little lower quality than the leading name-brand competitors. But in most cases, the difference in price more than makes up for this drop-off in quality, since the Great Value option is far cheaper than the name brand alternatives. This cream cheese works great as a topping for bagels or toast. It is smooth and easy to spread, and it tastes pretty good and fresh. When we tried using it in a cheesecake, the cheesecake did not quite set the way that we wanted it to. It still tasted pretty good, so if we are just making one for our own family, then we still use the Great Value brand. But if we are making it to serve in public, we usually pay a little bit more for a higher quality name brand. But that is about the only time we use cream cheese that we do not use Great Value.

I bought this from walmart to put in my cream cheese frosting for my homemade carrot cake. I figured I would cut some calories and fat but this was awful! It's runny and has a gross taste, stick to the original, or better yet, buy it somewhere else. All in all this is NOT a "great value"

Great value fat free cream cheese from walmart Is just as good as the others. It is cheaper then the bigger brands but it tastes pretty much the same. It is smooth and easy to spread. It tastes good and my family likes it. Saves us money so we can spend more on groceries.

Great Value fat free cream cheese tastes great! I buy it all the time, especially during the holidays when I bake a lot. I use it in frosting all the time. I always use real butter in my frosting, but I have never had a problem using a fat free cream cheese. The texture and quality is just as good as the name brands! Everyone complements my frosting and wants the recipe! They have no idea that I use Wal-Mart fat free cream cheese! It is also great to use as a dip or on crackers!

Usually when you buy store brand you don't get a good quality, this product on the other hand is so creamy and so good. I'm surprised with this cream cheese! I love it, my husband prefers it, and my kids really enjoy it. I can cook with it and use it as spreads.

Great Value Fatfree Cream Cheese is just like the national brands, you really can not tell the difference the only difference here is price, I simply can not taste or see any difference in quality or taste, texture, my family and I have had many different brands of cream cheese and this one taste better fresher and is fatfree, I have given this cream cheese to people who do not purchase or eat fatfree cream cheese and they simply do not notice the difference, this is how good this cream cheese taste and looks. It's also Gluten free, really like this cream cheese from Walmart's great value brand
