Soft Washed Rind Cheese Archives

Browse Cheese Atlas’s extensive range of artisanal soft washed rind cheeses from around the world.

Soft washed rind cheese is a type of cheese that is washed or rubbed with a liquid, such as brine, beer, or wine, during the aging process. This helps to develop a characteristic orange or pink rind and a soft, creamy interior. This type of cheese tends to have a meaty, earthy flavour.

You can also find our archives organised by other cheese types here: Blue, Fresh, Pasta Filata, Pressed Cooked, Pressed Uncooked, Soft White Mould and Whey.
