Limburger
Notoriously pungent cheese
Limburger is a soft white cheese known for its pungent smell, which intensifies as it ripens.
The odor comes from the same bacteria found on human skin, giving aged Limburger a notoriously foot-like stench.
Despite the smell, the flavor is mild and slightly salty.
Originally from the historical Duchy of Limburg, it became associated with German and Belgian cheesemaking.
