About Washed-rind cheese
Washed-rind cheese is a category of cheese whose surface is repeatedly washed or brushed during ripening, often with brine and sometimes with other liquids. It is eaten as a table cheese or used in cooking. The category includes cheeses made from different milks and with varied shapes, sizes, and maturation periods.
The rind may be orange, reddish, or tan, and can be sticky or damp; the interior ranges from firm to soft and supple. Flavors vary from mild and savory to pungent, with aromas that may be stronger than the taste. It is sold as whole wheels or cut portions, with or without rind.
