Description: The cheese with a big aroma and a ripe, rich earth laden pedigree.
Munster is a creamery, washed-rind cheese made from cow's milk. It has a round shape with sticky, orange, washed skin. The texture is semisoft and the flavor ranges from mild when young to quite assertive when aged. French Munster is one of the few cheeses which ripen from the inside out. The American version of Munster, or Muenster in America, have an orange rind, a lighter yellow interior and a decidedly bland flavor that in no way resembles the more robust European originals.
Type of Milk: Cow
Where is it Produced: France
Wine Pairings:
| Muscat: Contrast and compare. The sweet orange blossom fruit of the wine and the mushroom, wet leaf unctuousness of the cheese will make you go yum.
| |
| Moscato: Sparkle and sniff. On a hot day this combo can cool you off and give you richness.
