What is Neufchâtel Cheese?
Neufchâtel cheese is a type of French cheese, named after a village in Northeast France where it is commonly produced. For American consumers, the term “Neufchâtel” can be a bit confusing, as American cheese producers use “Neufchâtel” to describe a type of low fat cream cheese which is dramatically different from true French Neufchâtel cheese. French Neufchâtel is often available at fine cheese shops and large markets, and it can sometimes be obtained through specialty importers as well.
