It is thought to be an imitation muenster cheese the Alsatian washed-rind Munster cheese, introduced by German immigrants. Muenster is pale in color and smooth in texture with an orange rind. The cheese is made from pasteurized cow’s milk.

The spelling “Muenster” distinguishes the American cheese from Munster cheese, which is made from unpasteurized cow’s milk in the Vosges mountains in Alsace. The orange tinge of Munster’s rind occurs naturally as a byproduct of the cheese-making process. A regional variation is also produced in the Franche-Comté region in France.
