It looks like it is a cheese with red smear / washed rind. It could be Chaumes, Munster, Limburger or Ellsässer Winzerkäse – or many more.
Do you have any more clues? Do you remember anything about the taste? And in which area of the world did you enjoy the cheese?

I worked in a deli for 2 years. That’s Munster. The shape, and orange cross pattern is a dead giveaway. “It’s a very soft cheese with a low melting point and gentle flavor profile. Great for warm sandwiches and paired with meats and crackers. They make a version with dill mixed in that has a much bolder flavor and I really like eating that with ham on club crackers for an easy snack.” (This is the exact pitch I had to give to everyone who asked about the Munster. Roughly 3 times a day, 5 days a week)
Thickness definitely says Port. I’ve never seen squishy Muenster…

Why are people asking for muenster to be identified like every time I look at this sub?
I mean, it could be por salut, but it’s basically the same thing.
Looks like another muenster though.

Definitely Muenster. Port Salut tends to have a whiter paste and Muenster has a more yellow from beta-carotene

Port salut, Muenster, or possibly even tallegio
Likelihood of each one depends on where you are in the world

Muenster, probably the American equivalent of it anyway which is funny because I had a friend from Hessen who referred to Muenster as the German version of American cheese. Mild flavor, fast and cheap to produce, but not quite cheese enough to earn the full respect of its related curdled milk contemporaries. Butterkäse is by far its better looking more successful older sibling in my mind.

My guesses – Port Salut or Munster
Muenster?
