Soft cheese is a type of cheese that has a creamy texture and a high moisture content. It is typically made from cow, goat, or sheep milk and is known for its mild flavor. Common varieties of soft cheese include Brie, Camembert, and Ricotta. These cheeses are often spreadable and can be used in various dishes or enjoyed on their own. Soft cheese is usually aged for a shorter period compared to hard cheeses, which contributes to its softer consistency. It can be served as part of a cheese platter, used in cooking, or paired with fruits and crackers. Its versatility makes it a popular choice for many culinary applications.
