A brick about four inches wide by about two inches thick and four inches tall, it stayed pretty firm despite the fact my car was sun for 20 minutes while I stopped at the store to pick up salad greens for dinner. I wasn't quite sure how to work with the cheese, so after I opened the packaging, I dug a knife into it, keeping it within the plastic. It's a soft cheese and spreadable. Not especially stinky either. But definitely darker in color than your typical cheese.
