Can you Eat Cheese Rind? Even on Humboldt Fog & other Soft-Ripened Cheeses?
Can you eat cheese rind? We get this question all the time, and the answer is an emphatic YES! You can eat the rind on all of our soft-ripened cheeses — in fact, it’s a key part of the cheese’s flavor and adds a fantastic textural contrast. When it comes to rinds, try a bit, and if you like it, eat it! Just don’t eat any man-made rinds like wax or cloth, and steer clear of tree bark. Words to live by.
