About Semisoft cheese
Semisoft cheese is a broad category of cheese with a pliable texture, generally firmer than soft spreadable cheese and softer than semihard cheese. It may be sliceable or supple, with flavour ranging from mild to more pronounced according to milk, cultures, and ripening. The category does not designate one particular cheese.
It is sold in forms such as wedges, blocks, or wheels, sometimes with a rind and sometimes without. Moisture and ageing vary considerably, affecting texture and flavour. Semisoft cheeses are used at the table and in cooking, but the general label cannot predict the behavior of a specific cheese in a recipe.
