mild flavor

Not strongly seasoned

Mild flavor describes a taste that is subtle, gentle, or not intense.

Foods with mild flavor lack strong seasoning, spiciness, or pungency: The cheese has a mild flavor that won't overpower the dish.

The phrase often appears in food descriptions to signal something palatable to those who prefer less assertive tastes.
