Munster Recipe

5 2 reviews
Print Recipe
First made in the vicinity of the Vosges Mountains of France near the western border of Germany. Munster is similar to Brick but has less surface smear and undergoes less surface ripening.

This is a typical washed rind cheese that uses a regular brine wash to control unwanted mold and develop a characteristic rich flavor and ripening profile The added moisture helps the development of bacteria that gives this cheese its particular taste and color
