Munster takes its name from the Vosges town and was first made by monks in the valleys west of Strasbourg, who washed the rinds to preserve the cheese and gave it its powerful aroma. It carries an AOP today, and despite the smell the paste is mild and creamy. Alsatians eat it ripe with caraway or cumin seeds and a sweet Gewurztraminer, or melt it over potatoes. It is the region's great cheese and a fixture of the Strasbourg market stalls.
