American

American cheese is a smooth, creamy cheese made by blending natural cheeses. It has many options, including individual wrapped cheese slices and pre-sliced large blocks. It melts easily.

Asiago

Asiago is a nutty-flavored cheese that comes in two versions: mature and fresh. The fresh Asiago has an off-white appearance and is mild and smoother, while the mature Asiago is slightly yellowish and crumbly. Asiago can be sliced, melted, or grated depending on its age.

Blue Cheese

Blue cheeses made from Penicillium cultures are generally known as "blue." This is because they have blue veins or spots. Blue cheese is distinctive in smell and has what some call an acquired taste. Blue cheeses can either be melted or crumbled. For a fun and easy blue cheese recipe, check out our Blue Cheese Deviled Eggs.

Bocconcini

Meaning "little bites," bocconcini are egg-sized balls of mozzarella cheese. This cheese is unripened and white. It has a soft, elastic texture and a sweet, buttery flavor. You can enjoy Bocconcini as is or melt them.

Brie is a soft white cheese. Brie is a quiet, white cheese that comes in a wheel or a small wooden container. It's a famous dessert cheese. Experts recommend that it be consumed at room temperature. Learn how to enjoy brie and other cheeses with a rind.

Burrata

One example is Burrata, a piece of fresh cheese with a thin layer made of cheese and a mix of stringy curds and fresh cream inside. Burrata is rich in flavor and pairs well with Italian dishes, such as pizzas, crusty bread, and salads.

Camembert

Camembert cheese fresh is hard, bland, and crumbly. However, it becomes runnier with age. It has a buttery, rich flavor and a rind meant to be enjoyed.

Cheddar

There are wide varieties of this famous cheese. The flavor of this cheese can be creamy or sharp. It can also come in various colors, from a natural white to a pumpkin orange. As it ages, Cheddar becomes drier and crumblier. Please find out more about cheddar cheese in our All About Cheddar Cheese article.

Cheese curds

Cheese curds are popular in Canada and the United States. They have a rubbery texture and can be flavored in various ways. These can be used in Poutine recipes or as a snack.

Colby

Colby may look similar to Cheddar but has a soft texture and less tangy flavor. Colby Jack is sometimes made by blending it with Monterey Jack and other cheeses.

Colby-Jack Cheese

This orange and white cheese is a mixture of white Monterey Jack and orange Colby cheese. Because it melts well, it's used in grilled sandwiches and other warm dishes such as cooked vegetables.

Ice-pack Cheese

Cold Pack cheese is a mixture of two or more types of fresh and aged natural cheeses. They can sometimes be made with a combination of Swiss and cheddar cheeses. These cheeses are soft, creamy, and easily spreadable. These are popular for holiday parties. They come in tubs and logs, as well as other packages.

Cotija

This crumbly, hard cheese starts mildly salty and becomes tangier as it ages. It won't melt, so you can use it to grate on soups, tacos, and other dishes.

Cottage cheese

Cottage cheese is made from curds separated from the whey. It isn't pressed like other cheeses, so it stays creamy and lumpy. You can eat it on its own or with fruit and toast.

Cream cheese

Cream cheese is made from cream and milk. Cream cheese is available in blocks, with or without added flavor, and spreads easily. It is mildly tangy and light in flavor.
