About the Cheese

Explore the distinctive flavours of Munster, a characterful cows’ milk cheese originating from France with a rich history rooted in monastic traditions.

Handcrafted in the artisan style, our Munster boasts an eye-catching orange washed rind that imparts a delightful pungency.

When young, its cream-coloured paste offers a slightly crumbly texture, evolving into a velvety smoothness as it matures.

Pair Munster with Gewurztraminer from Alsace or other aromatic white wines to complement its complex more-ish flavours.
