Muenster

Muenster is a soft, creamy semi-soft cheese sold in 14 to 19 oz blocks by Keystone Cheese. Soft, creamy, and undeniably smooth, it is the ultimate melting cheese. In Wisconsin, Muenster was among the first semi-soft cheeses European immigrants made in the late 1800s, and its firmer Wisconsin texture made it popular as a slicing cheese for sandwiches.
