Curds and Whey - Soft Cheeses
As well as the hard and semi-hard cheeses Britain also produces a number of soft cheeses:
|
Cottage Cheese
Available in a variety of flavours, the moist granules of white curd are coated in a mild, creamy dressing. |
|
Cream Cheese
A creamy coloured, spreadable soft cheese with a rich buttery flavour. |
|
Curd Cheese
A white, spreadable soft cheese with a clean tangy flavour, making an excellent lower fat alternative to cream cheese. A classic use for this cheese is in Yorkshire curd tart.
Fromage Frais / Quark A soft cheese that looks, tastes and has similar uses to yogurt. Low fat and creamy varieties are available. |
|
Pencarreg
A full fat, smooth creamy cheese, with an edible white rind and mellow flavour. Pencarreg is made by Welsh Organic Foods. The organic sources of the milk contribute to a complex and unique flavour, as the mixtures of grasses and herbs eaten by the cows vary throughout the year. |
|
Somerset Brie
A glossy, straw coloured cheese with an edible white rind and a distinctive full flavour and aroma. |
