Cream cheese fruit dip is made from mascarpone cheese which is made from low fat, fresh cream of cow's milk. These cows are fed special grasses, filled with fresh herbs and flowers, so that they produce milk that is just right for the cheese. Owing to this special diet, a unique taste is often created and imparted to the cheese as well. The texture of Mascarpone cheese resembles a sticky pudding and its color is that of cream. It is milky-white in color and spreads easily.
