Is there a good substitute of Philadelphia Cheese in Poland?

I know you can't get the above cheese in Poland, but what's a good substitute, I want to make a cheesecake....and no not a Polish one, as nice and all as sernik is I want to make something from home for a bit of a change

i think Philly cheese is available in Polish stores?

It looks like Polish homo cheese:

It is, at least in Gdansk.

the best is quark to make a cheesecake.

ah ok, I've just never seen it here in Kato...will try harder, thanks

chata polska sells it, but it's quite expensive for what it is.

There really is no substitute for Philadelphia cream cheese ;)

Even the substitutes made in the United States, lack the taste and consistency of genuine Philadelphia cream cheese.

you can definitely get it here. but it comes in a small pack and it is priced high. there are some good substitutes- I think Pianica (I think that is the name??) is a really good one.

100 meters from my flat in Gdansk is Hala Targowa. I can buy Philadelphia cream cheese exactly like what I bought in the US at a reasonable price. On toasted bread-bagels are hard to find-with salmon and onions, it makes a good Sunday morning breakfast.

quark is for sernik, for US style cheesecake you want something like this:

look at the ingredients on the back, compare philly cream cheese to what ever is right beside it and make your call. I made a cheese cake last week or so and went with the philly brand (1 pln more than the stuff beside it). I spent about 24pln on just the cream cheese.

Ser Smietankowy (or something spelled like that).
