Soft Fresh Cheeses are the most perishable of all categories. They have a high moisture content and very little cultural activity. Maintain tight pars on inventory and rotate them on a FIFO (first in first out) basis. Also, check codes and dates carefully when receiving.

Soft Fresh Cheeses are only one step removed from the milk they are made from and typically have clean, creamy flavors. Two exceptions to the rules of perishability and mild flavor are Sour Cream, and Feta which is packed in brine, and has a much longer shelf life than other Soft Fresh Cheeses.
Cheeses in this category differ in the amount of milkfat.

Firm, unripened cheeses such as Gjetost and Mysost also may be used soon after manufacture; but, because they contain very low moisture, they may be kept for several weeks or months.
