It totally depends on the brand you buy. Some are very much flavorless and seem like its key ingredient is plastic goo. Go to an higher end shop or a proper deli and you can get some that are so fucking tasty that I don't use other cheeses in my sandwiches.

There is no such thing as orange cheese. Its just food coloring

>>17429177
What makes it good? Does it have a stronger/nuttier flavor from the annatto? I've had good red leicester that blew me away and I think the "red" color comes from the same stuff as muenster, just not sure to what extent it provides flavor vs. color

>>17429196
Probably just food coloring in >>17429150 but it's supposed to come from pic related and has nothing to do with oranges

>>17429209
Its a rich nutty flavor. It also melts really well.

I think the main problem you're facing is you're buying the cheap mass produced shit that looks like craft singles. Try one that is made the more traditional way (picrel)

>>17429150
its bussin for grilled cheeses or melt sandwiches when you have another cheese to compliment

I was always taught that's munsters purpose, to form a bed of flavor for a harder/sharper cheese to sit upon

>>17429231
yeah that's definitely fair, I'll go to a cheesemonger and give a quality muenster its fair shake.

I will still say though, that grocery store aisle cheese of other varieties are all far more interesting and valid than grocery store muenster.

this makes sense. I could see it going well with gruyere or even a sharp cheddar

Only thing i use it for is venison burgers once in a while. Leftovers go in omelettes.

muenster is fantastic for melting
shredded is great on pizza too
burgers and sandwiches toasted with a few slices on top
like other have said, quality is variable and heavily affects flavor

Muenster is a fantastic choice when its included in your grocery store brand at bargain prices. Usually you get crap like mild cheddar, skim mozzarella, Monterrey jack. But occasionally they will include Muenster in this "3 for $5" class, where its a must buy. Its a step up from crap tier cheese, even in its cheapest form.

She's hinting that she wants a meunster cock crammed up her ass

>The orange annatto rind doesn't seem to add any flavor
See >>17429275
That's because Muenster is an ersatz cheese, the goal of the annatto is to mimic the rind on the real cheese, and this one certainly isn't bland

don't be talking shit about muenster

>>17429410
so Muenster is just an imitation version of Munster made in US vs France? And the annatto's sole function is to mimic rind, rather than add any flavor?

That sounds pretty Bad

>>17429150
I fucking love muenster cheese. Some anon here suggested making a pizza with it as the cheese

>>17429150
I guess your gf is used to putting bland, semisoft things in her mouth

>>17429695
it could be worse, they could have put sawdust in it like most american cheeses.
