It is an onion-y flavored herb. It's great freshly snipped into fried potatoes or sour cream dips, among other things. It grows in hollow green shoots, very easy to grow, and flavorful. You can also buy it dried.

Something like the green part of a green onion -- milder, though, and very pleasant tasting. If you like green onions, then the chive cream cheese ought to be just fine.

Chives are herbs. They look like long, skinny grass. They are usually used to season potatoes.
