🧀 Arla Buko

Arla Buko is an Arla Foods brand of cream cheese made with Danish cream, which also includes a range of processed cheese.

Buko processed cheese has been made since 1932. The cream cheese is soft and spreadable and comes in flavours such as Herbs & Spices, Pepper, Provence, Tex-Mex, Toscana and Pineapple. Since 2009 the range has also included Buko Light, with 50% less fat.

Cream cheese belongs to the fresh cheeses: it is not ripened and is eaten soon after production. The processed side of the range belongs to processed cheeses and cheese products, which are made by melting cheese into a smooth, spreadable mass.

The products are made by Arla Foods, the Danish dairy cooperative owned by dairy farmers.

How to use it: spread Buko on bread, crispbread and bagels; fill wraps and tortillas with the Tex-Mex flavour; stir Herbs & Spices or Provence into sauces, baked potatoes and pasta; and serve the Pineapple flavour on crackers or in sweet-savoury snacks. Keep it in the fridge and use it within a few days of opening.
