Muenster Cheese
What You Should Know
You'd find this Alp and Dell Muenster in the cheese aisle or deli counter, ready for weekend grilled cheeses, sandwich throwbacks, or a casual picnic cheese board. It gives a mild, comforting and slightly indulgent vibe—melty and nostalgic—while its short ingredient list (cultured pasteurized milk, salt, enzymes, annatto) and gentle processing explain its smooth texture and natural flavor; it's processed cheese rather than a heavily engineered ultraprocessed product.
