It looks somewhat similar to camembert, with a white, edible rind, but the taste is saltier and sharper. It is usually sold in heart shapes, however it is also produced in other forms, such as logs. It is typically matured for 8–10 weeks.
This cheese was commonly used in British forms of Cheesecake. It is also used as the base for a type of cream cheese popular in the United States.
Neufchâtel means Newcastle in French.
