[Sca-cooks] cream cheese and other cultured milk products

If you mean the "Philadelphia Cream Cheese", then yes you are correct.
I remember a discussion here about that product. Also discussions on
how the sour cream here is different that in Russia. In part is because
of the cultures used and in part the processing.

Even the buttermilk you get today may produced differently than say a
hundred years ago.
