Muenster Cheese
What You Should Know
You'd spot this Alp and Dell Muenster in the deli counter or cheese aisle, ready to pull out for sandwiches, melts, or a weekend cheese board. It gives a comforting, slightly indulgent vibe — think grilled cheese from childhood or gooey burger toppings. The ingredient list (cultured pasteurized milk, salt, enzymes, annatto) and expected meltable texture point to traditional cheese-making with pasteurization and added color rather than heavy industrial reformulation.
