Muenster is a cheese from the United States, not to be confused with the French variety, Munster. Non-dairy Muenster has a semi-soft texture with an orange “rind” and a slightly ripened, buttery flavor. The coloration of the “rind” is created by rubbing the exterior of the cheese with sweet paprika. Slices are ideal for cold sandwiches and for melting on burgers or other grilled sandwiches.
