What type of cheese is often incorporated into Porto's pastries?

Cream cheese is the type of cheese that is often incorporated into Porto's pastries. This soft and spreadable cheese has a rich and creamy texture, making it ideal for creating fillings that complement the sweetness of the pastries. It is commonly used in sweet pastry items, such as cheesecakes or danishes, where its mild flavor can enhance the overall taste without overpowering other ingredients.

Additionally, cream cheese contributes to the overall moisture and richness of the pastry, creating a desirable mouthfeel that many customers enjoy. In contrast, the other types of cheese, such as cheddar, feta, and blue cheese, tend to have stronger flavors or different textures that are less suited for the sweet profile typical of Porto's pastries. Each of these cheeses serves a good purpose in various culinary contexts but does not align with the traditional fillings seen in many of Porto’s offerings.
