What goes with Munster Cheese?
French Munster is a soft cow milk cheese with a washed orange rind and an ivory interior. A ripe portion can smell considerably stronger than it tastes, with a creamy paste carrying salt, cultured milk and savoury depth. This profile uses a ripe, clean smelling cheese whose centre yields readily, without the harsh ammonia of an overripe specimen.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Munster Cheese?
Use partners with enough structure to support Munster's soft centre: potato, carrot, bread and cooked mushrooms give substance to small portions. Caraway contributes a clear aromatic counterpoint, while carefully controlled fruit sweetness rounds the savoury edge. Strong condiments are most effective in small amounts, leaving space for the paste as well as its fragrant rind.
