Muenster (myoonst-er) is a semi-soft, washed-rind cheese named after the Alsace region’s Münster, with a mild to tangy aroma and a creamy, supple texture. In culinary contexts it’s often used for melting or as a distinct flavored, aromatic cheese. The term also refers to a village in Germany, but the cheese sense is far more common in English usage.
