Soft-ripened cheese
Soft-ripened cheese matures from the surface while its interior remains yielding and creamy, often beneath a soft, pale rind.
About Soft-ripened cheese
Soft-ripened cheese is a category of cheese matured so that the interior remains soft while ripening at the surface contributes to its character. It is eaten as cheese or used in cooking. The category includes distinct cheeses, so milk type, recipe, ripening, and rind treatment are not fixed by this name.
The interior is typically yielding and creamy, while the surface may have a soft, pale rind. Flavour can range from mild and buttery to more pronounced as ripening progresses. The cheese may be sold as a small wheel or other shaped portion, but the generic term does not identify a specific variety or formulation.
