(Redirected from Muenster (cheese)) For the French cheese, see Munster cheese. Muenster (English pronunciation: /ËmÊnstÉr/ or /ËmÊnstÉr/) or munster is a semi-soft cheese from the United States, not to be confused with the French cheese Munster or the processed dairy food Sweet Muenster Cheese. It is also unrelated to the German city of MÃ¼nster, or to the Irish province of Munster.
Emmentaler cheese is made from cowâs milk and traces its origins to the Emme Valley in Switzerland, hence its name (Tal is the German word for valley). Emmentaler and other Swiss-style cheeses are characterized by large holes, commonly known as cheese eyes. These cavities are in fact carbon dioxide bubbles that form and remain trapped in the cheese as a result of specific bacteria action over the course of the aging process.
