Aged for a minimum of 21 days, Munster Fermier develops a supple, creamy interior beneath its distinctive orange, sticky rind, which is regularly washed in brine to encourage the growth of Brevibacterium linens. This natural ageing process gives the cheese its bold aroma, while the unpasteurised milk enhances its depth of flavour, making it earthier, grassier, and more intense than industrially produced Munster. The taste is buttery and tangy, with subtle notes of smoked meats, wild herbs, and a slightly spicy finish that intensifies as the cheese matures.
A true Alpine farmhouse cheese, Munster Fermier is often served with boiled potatoes, cumin seeds, and rustic bread, making it a staple of Alsatian cuisine. It pairs beautifully with Alsace Riesling, Gewürztraminer, or a farmhouse ale, which complement its creamy texture and robust character.
