Stracchino is a soft Italian cheese made from cow's milk and sold very young. The paste is pale, moist, and creamy, and most pieces have no real rind. Crescenza is the freshest form of the same family, and shop labels often use the two names for one product. It is a spreading cheese rather than a long-aged wheel. The usual taste is mild, milky, and a little tangy.

Teleme cheese is a mild semi-soft cow's milk cheese of the United States. Makers form it in square slabs, and many dust the surface with rice flour. The flour takes up moisture, keeps pieces from sticking, and dries into a soft coat rather than a thick rind. The paste inside stays creamy and pale. Young cheese slices cleanly, and with time it relaxes, smells a little stronger, and can be spread.
