Muenster Cheese
What You Should Know
You'd find Alp and Dell Muenster in the refrigerated cheese aisle or at the deli counter, ready for grilled cheese sandwiches, melting over burgers, or a casual weekend cheese board. Its soft, meltable texture and simple ingredient list—cultured pasteurized milk, salt, enzymes and annatto for color—feels comforting and slightly indulgent; the lack of industrial additives points toward conventional processing (not an ultra‑processed formulation).
