Munster

Dairy and Egg Products

Munster is a soft cheese with a strong taste and pungent aroma, made mainly from cow's milk first produced in the Vosges mountains, in the region spanning Alsace, Lorraine and Franche-Comte in France. It takes its name from the Alsatian town of Munster, where monks in local abbeys historically aged the cheese in their cellars. A regional variant known as Gerome takes its name from the Vosgian dialect pronunciation of the Lorraine town of Gerardmer.
