Semi-soft cheeses vary in their characteristics. Most semi-soft cheeses have strong flavours. They tend to melt quickly and can in some cases stretch in long strands. They brown at high temperatures and they mix well with other ingredients.

On pizza, in lasagna, in pasta dishes, in quiches or in sandwiches, semi-soft cheeses are indispensable in the kitchen. They give taste to soups, they garnish salads and add considerable nutritional value to any meal. And they’re wonderful in fondues to warm those cold winter evenings!

For the simple pleasure of appreciating their aromas and tastes, semi-soft cheeses are great additions to a cheese board, either for a tasting or to end a good meal. Their variety is so vast that one of them is sure to please any type of cheese lover, from the timid to the most expert.

Wine Pairings: Full-bodied gusty white wines or a light, fruity red. Also try Chianti, Rioja or Merlot wines.
