>i feel like it used to be tangier. i really liked it. its still great but i do miss how i think it used to be. am i crazy?
That was from the red rind, yup, you are correct, annatto ads some tanginess, but it also retains moisture from the cheese itself, absrobs some of the tangy-sour moisture from the cheese, the whey and holds it there at the rind.

Guess I'm the only one who doesn't like it? Anything you say it's good for is totally outpaced by another cheese. Muenster is for people who don't *actually* like cheese, just the idea of cheese.

dumb fake elitist post. a decent muenster has the same flavor profile as dozens of fancy washed rind cheeses that are 5 times more expensive. it it absolutely fine for what it is -a soft, mild, slightly tangy cheese.

It's a rubbery dairy paste barely funkier than a babybel but it has an orange rind and sticks a bit to the fingers so some people consider it to be a strong cheese

It eventually fulfilled my cheese cravings with some mexican cheese that was a bit salty and tangy like some cheap ass feta cheese but most of all didn't have the unpleasant after taste that the other, muenster included, had.

A few varieties do, but they make up a small minority of English cheese produced. As mentioned, Ireland has a thing for annatto in cheese; most shops stock 'red cheddar', but it's not common in Scotland, and is virtually unseen in England and Wales.

Exactly. Muenster is superior for its rind and how it tastes cold, whereas havarti is a better melting cheese. Different cheeses serve different purposes and all of them are great.
