stinky cheese
Aromatic aged dairy
Stinky cheese is cheese with a strong, pungent odor—typically washed-rind varieties like Limburger or Époisses that develop potent aromas during aging.
The smell, often compared to feet or barnyard, belies a rich, complex flavor prized by cheese enthusiasts: I love stinky cheese, but my roommates won't let me keep it in the fridge.
