Munster Cheese
Munster (), Munster-géromé, or ( Alsatian) Minschterkaas, is a soft cheese with a subtle taste, made mainly from milk first produced in the Vosges, between the Alsace-Lorraine and Franche-Comté regions in France. The name "Munster" is derived from the Alsace town of Munster, where, among Vosgian abbeys and monasteries, the cheese was conserved and matured in monks' cellars. History This cheese originated in the Admodiation, an area on the top of the Vosgian mountains of France, named "Chaumes" or "Les grandes Chaumes" (comitatus Calvomontensis). ''Calvomontensis'' is the Latin for a mountaintop without woods. As early as 1371, and possibly before, these territories were occupied by cattle herds driven by men, called "''marcaires''" (from the Alsatian "''Malker''", Milker in English), pastured there between May and September. When the herds returned to their valleys, the cattle herdsmen first paid the fees and tithes to the religious and political owners of the summe ...
