Mondseer is a semi-soft cow's milk cheese from Austria. It is made from pasteurized milk and ripened with a washed rind. The paste is pale yellow, smooth, and creamy, with small slit holes. A reddish yellow coat forms after the surface is brushed with salted water and red cultures. The aroma is stronger than the taste, which runs from mild and tangy to a little sharp.
