It is typically sold in a log or tub format, ready for immediate use.

You can serve this cheese chilled, allowing its flavors to be enjoyed in their purest form. For a warm application, it can be gently melted into sauces, soups, or dips, where it will lend a rich, creamy texture and a complex garlic-herb taste. It also works wonderfully when dolloped onto hot dishes just before serving, adding a fresh, finishing touch. Consider incorporating it into baked goods for a savory twist, or using it as a flavorful spread on sandwiches and wraps.
How it differs from similar foods
