Cheese is usually categorized intofour

奶酪通常分为四大类。

Soft cheese includes cottage cheese, cream cheese, ricotta, brie, bleu, roquefort, mozzarella, meunster and similar cheeses. These cheeses generally pair well with fruit or meats, or can be used as breakfast cheeses in an omelette Nor as pasta fillings. They are usually mildly flavored and very high in moisture.

软质奶酪包括茅屋奶酪、奶油奶酪、里科塔奶酪、布里奶酪、蓝纹奶酪、罗克福尔奶酪、马苏里拉奶酪、明斯特奶酪等类似奶酪。这些奶酪通常与水果或肉类搭配很好，或者可以作为早餐奶酪用在煎蛋饼里，或者作为意面馅料。它们通常味道温和，含水量很高。

American, Colby, co-jack and similar cheeses are inthe semi-soft category. These are slightly stronger in flavor and cover a wide range of uses. Co-jack cheese, a blend of Colby and Monterrey jack is one of the most popular. This allows the sharper flavor of Colby to be combined with the milder jack cheese, and also melts better than plain Colby. Grilled cheese sandwiches often use American cheese, and Mexican cheeses such as Asadero and Queso Fresco are becoming more popular.

半软质奶酪包括美国奶酪、科尔比奶酪、科杰克奶酪等类似奶酪。这些奶酪味道略重，用途广泛。科杰克奶酪是科尔比奶酪和蒙特瑞杰克奶酪的混合，是最受欢迎的之一。这样可以将科尔比奶酪的浓烈风味与更温和的杰克奶酪结合，而且比普通科尔比奶酪更容易融化。烤奶酪三明治通常使用美国奶酪，而墨西哥奶酪如阿萨德罗奶酪和克索弗雷斯科奶酪正变得越来越受欢迎。

Hard cheeses include Parmesan, Romano, Asiago, Swiss, Gruyere and others. Parmesan and Romano are most familiar as the grated powder used to top spaghetti, but they are also used as accompaniments for fruit, wine, nuts and other appetizer items. Swiss is a popular sandwich cheese and melts well, unlike some other hard cheeses.

硬质奶酪包括帕玛森奶酪、罗马诺奶酪、阿西亚戈奶酪、瑞士奶酪、格鲁耶尔奶酪等。帕玛森奶酪和罗马诺奶酪最常见的是磨成粉撒在意面上，但也用作水果、葡萄酒、坚果和其他开胃菜的配菜。瑞士奶酪是一种受欢迎的三明治奶酪，融化效果好，不像其他一些硬质奶酪。
