Mondseer

Mondseer is an Austrian cheese made from pasteurized cow’s milk. It originates from the town of Mondsee, hence the name. This semi-hard cheese has a pale yellow color, and its rind is washed, while the texture of the cheese is firm, smooth, open, and creamy.

It has a strong aroma and its flavor can be described as sweet, spicy, and slightly acidic or sour due to the infusion of red cultures and salt water. Mondseer is quite popular in Austrian cuisine, and it is recommended to use it in au gratin dishes and cheese salads.
