Soft cheese is a creamy, spreadable dairy product made from milk and sometimes cream, often enhanced with salt and cultures for flavor and texture. Common varieties include Brie, Camembert, Ricotta, and Cream Cheese, with origins rooted in French, Italian, and other European cuisines. Soft cheese is rich in calcium, protein, and phosphorus, supporting bone health and muscle function. However, it can be high in saturated fats and calories, making moderation key for a balanced diet. Some types offer probiotics, which promote gut health, but these benefits vary depending on the cheese and processing methods. Its rich texture and mild to tangy flavor make it versatile as a topping, ingredient in dishes, or enjoyed on bread and crackers. While soft cheese can be indulgent, choosing lower-fat or reduced-sodium options can help make it a healthier addition to meals.
