The Muenster cheese originating in the Alsace region France is a washed rind cheese, an unpasteurized cow’s milk cheese with a strong flavor. French Muenster is aged longer to develop its flavor. Though it has that signature orange rind, the American version uses paprika to give it its color. Made in the United States, American Muenster is pale yellow with a mild, mellow, even buttery flavor.
