About Neufchâtel cheese from cow's milk

Neufchâtel is a soft cheese made from cow’s milk. The name is used for a French cheese associated with Normandy and for cheeses made in other styles, so products bearing it can differ in moisture, ripening and composition. The French cheese is traditionally mold-ripened and may be formed in several shapes, including a heart.

It is eaten on bread or crackers and can also be used in cooking where a soft cheese is wanted. Its texture is generally creamy to soft, with a mild tang; the degree of richness and firmness varies by style and ripening. It is sold as whole cheeses and sometimes in portions.
