Munster or Munster Géromé - two names for one and the same cheese. It is made from cow's milk, mainly in Lorraine and Alsace. Its origin can be traced back to monks and its name is said to derive from a monastery. After aging in a damp cellar, where its rind is regularly washed, it is well received by consumers when prepared or on the cheese board.
Munster has been marked with the European seal AOP (Protected Designation of Origin) since 1969.
The red European AOP seal (appellation d'origine protégée = "protected designation of origin") guarantees the consumer that all production stages take place exclusively in the defined geographical area of the designation, from the production of the milk to the maturing of the cheese.
In France, 45 types of cheese, 3 types of butter and 2 types of cream are labeled with the European seal "AOP".
