The highly prized European Muensters have red or orange rinds and a smooth, yellow interior with small holes. The texture is semisoft and the flavor ranges from mild when young to quite assertive when aged. The American versions have an orange rind, a lighter yellow interior and a decidedly bland flavor that in no way resembles the more robust European originals.
