cheese spreads
Soft dairy pastes
Cheese spreads are soft, spreadable preparations made from cheese blended with other ingredients to achieve a smooth, easily spreadable consistency.
Unlike firm cheeses that require slicing, these products can be applied directly to crackers, bread, or vegetables with a knife.
Commercial varieties often combine processed cheese with emulsifiers and flavorings, while homemade versions might blend cream cheese or soft cheeses with herbs, garlic, or other additions.
I picked up some cheese spreads for the party platter.
