What exactly is soft cheese; my store sells French soft cheese, no name just "soft cheese" on label?

The term "soft cheese" is actually used to define, characterize %26amp; identify the moisture content of a cheese.





The factor controlling the hardness of a cheese is its moisture content which is dependent on the pressure with which it is packed into molds and the length of time it is aged.





Soft cheeses have a very high moisture content and tend to be more bland in flavor compared to other cheeses. Cheeses in this category are often spread on bread or crackers to be served as snacks. They're usually not used for cooking. Most soft cheeses should be used within a few days of purchase--they spoil faster than firmer cheeses.

Soft cheese is spreadable. Its generally for bread or crackers. Kinda has the consistency of cream cheese..maybe a little more on the firm side though.


An example of a soft cheese is Brie. Its very delicate and cannot be slice with a knife...Must be sliced with a wire cutter
Reply:Maybe a fresh goat cheese.
