Aged for a minimum of 21 days, Munster Ermitage develops a smooth, supple interior beneath its orange-hued, sticky rind, which is washed regularly with brine to encourage the growth of Brevibacterium linens - the bacteria responsible for its bold aroma and distinctive flavour. Despite its strong scent, the flavour is surprisingly creamy and well-balanced, with buttery, slightly tangy, and subtly spiced notes that intensify with age.
This cheese is a staple of Alsatian cuisine, often served with boiled potatoes, cumin seeds, or rustic country bread. It pairs beautifully with full-bodied white wines like Gewürztraminer, Riesling, or Pinot Gris, as well as farmhouse ales that complement its earthy richness.
