Munster (french pronunciation: ​[mœ̃stɛʁ]), munster-géromé, or (alsatian) minschterkaas, is a strong-smelling 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.
