Munster Weiss Cumin des Prés 800g

Munster Weiss – Cumin des Prés is a bold and aromatic washed-rind cheese that celebrates the traditional flavours of Alsace. Made from cow’s milk and aged for 2 to 3 months in damp cellars, it develops a signature pungent aroma, a supple, creamy texture, and a rich, tangy character.

What sets this Munster apart is the addition of Cumin des Prés – a regional term for caraway seeds – which infuse the cheese with warm, slightly sweet, and anise-like notes. The result is a cheese that’s both earthy and spiced, with a beautifully balanced complexity.
