French Muenster can be served with the salad course, with dessert fruits, such as cherries, pears, plums, or peaches, with beer and wine, and with hearty rye breads. German Muenster has a moderate flavor, which makes it an ideal complement to fruit, raw vegetables, breads, preserved meats, beer, or wine. American Muenster, with its mild flavor, combines well with other more full-flavored foods, and melts nicely.
