Can you name what cheese this was? White, smooth, used for spread...?
Came in a gift basket with crackers, sausage, etc. it was in a container like cream cheese, looked like cream cheese, no it wasn't cream cheese haha It was solid white, soft, spread like room temperature butter. It wasn't spicy or hot, just mild.
Sorry that's all I got any idea what it was? Thank you!
Could have been a goat cheese spread they have a mild flavor most of the time unless you get one thats filled with herbs can have a stronger flavor but still mellow enough to be a bit tangy. Or it could have been a cheese spread which could be a combination of cheeses. If you have the packaging the basket came in see if it gives a name for whats all in the basket.
