This is not the Munster with which most Americans are familiar. Alsatian Munster is another animal altogether. Munster is virtually the only regional cheese native to Alsace. It has a very pronounced, powerful aroma that is oddly reminiscent of fried eggs. Munster is smelly due to its washed rind. Cheeses such as Munster, Livarot, Pont L'Eveque, Taleggio, and Limburger are referred to as washed-rind cheeses. They are rubbed by hand with a cloth moistened by a brine solution of rock salt and water. This solution encourages the growth of the bacteria that give these cheeses their characteristically strong flavors and smells, while inhibiting the growth of mold. These cheeses have "red" rinds, which are actually closer to orange in color. Many cheese connoisseurs relish these cheeses, but they are certainly not for the timid. Their depth of flavor and character are difficult to match, and once you develop a taste for them they will surely rank among your favorites.
  • Made from pasteurized cow's milk.
  • Best enjoyed within seven days of delivery.

Deeelicious
I have searched every local cheese store for the great cheese. Try it. You won't regret it!

Du vrai qui pue, delicious of course
Francais from Les Vosges now in the US knows how to appreciate such out of this world smelly cheese. If you never experienced a real Munster from Les Vosges or Alsace, this one is the real deal, the best of the best

Good stinky cheese
This has a lovely moldering rottenness that warms my soul. It does have a very faint grittiness on the surface that is characteristic of this cheese type, but not enough to bother removing it. It's also not nearly as thick as the photo. I will order it again.

Munster d'Alsace
Most excellant! The flavor was much more robust than even the Limburger, but fell short of the Leiderkranz. Great stuff!

Excellent
Lovely gift for my son and daughter in law as a gift from me in the UK. They miss there English and French cheeses so it was the perfect gift. Arrived on the da stated. Will use again.

Meh
Not ripe in the least! A very bland cheese. I've ordered this before and it has been runny and stinky and heaven!

Experiment
I pretty much stick with cheese I have come to know and enjoy. Rarely do I wander far from my usual selections although igourmet keeps tempting me to do so. A while back, I asked if they had Muenster cheese. They have only one cheese with the name Munster. It is a delight if you like a robust cheese which is nothing like the mild Muenster I like on the occasional sandwich. I decided to experiment and Munster d'Alsace has become one of my favorites.

Good stink
Good taste with slightly strong smell from other stinky cheese.
