Soft cheeses include cheeses with a higher moisture content as the factor that controls cheese hardness is moisture content, which depends on the pressure with which it is packed into moulds, and upon aging time. Semi-soft cheeses and the sub-group, Monastery cheeses tend to be bland in flavour. Some well-known varieties include Havarti, Munster and Port Salut.
Cheese consists of proteins and fat from milk, usually the milk of cows, buffalo, goats, or sheep. It is produced by coagulation of the milk protein casein. Typically, the milk is acidified and addition of the enzyme rennet causes coagulation. The solids are separated and pressed into final form. Some cheeses have molds on the rind or throughout. Most cheeses melt at cooking temperature.
