Frequently Asked Questions
Is American Muenster the same as European Munster?
No, American Muenster is much milder than French Munster (Alsatian), which has a stronger aroma and more pungent flavor.
Why does Muenster have an orange rind?
The orange color comes from annatto, a natural food coloring added during production. It doesn't affect the taste.
