Limburger Cheese

This cheese is absolutely notorious for its pungent odor, commonly attributed to smelly feet. This unfortunate attribute comes in its third month of aging, when the bacteria Brevibacterium linens arrives for fermentation. That being said, if you can get past the unappetizing aroma, you will be able to appreciate this distinct European cheese's creamy, soft texture and rich, robust flavor that goes down especially well with a cold beer.
