What is the Orange/Red Part of Muenster? Can You Eat It?
Muenster is easily recognized by the orange/red coloring around the edges. This is either a vegetable based coloring or a very mild Paprika. It is pretty bland and completely edible. It is there to resemble it’s cousin, the European Munster (notice the spelling difference). Not all American Muenster will have the orange coloring. I have some completely lacking the color. The only thing the coloring does is add to the visual appeal.
