Français Spreadable cheese is exactly what it says. It’s made by melting one or more cooked, pressed cheeses – not too mature – and blending with milk, cream or butter. Spices and other flavourings can also be added. The result is a soft, creamy, spreadable cheese with aromas of fresh cream and hazelnuts and a relatively mild flavour. Spreadable cheeses are pasteurised, and available in a variety of formats including triangles, rectangles, cubes and tubs. Everyone has come across them at some time! They’re perfect for sandwiches, verrines, rolls, cheese pastries, wraps and samosas. They keep well and are easily transportable, making them especially good for travel. They’ve made it all the way to Africa, where they are particularly popular – as Chef Anto reminds us in her recipe.
