cheese rind definition and meaning

What is "cheese rind"?

The cheese rind refers to the natural or intentionally formed outer layer of certain cheeses. It plays a significant role in the development of flavor, texture, and preservation of the cheese. The rind can vary in thickness, color, and texture, depending on the type of cheese and the aging process. Some cheese rinds are bloomy and soft, like the velvety rind of Brie, while others are natural and firm, like the protective rind of Parmesan. The cheese rind often adds complexity and character to the cheese, and while it may not always be consumed, it contributes to the overall sensory experience.
