Limburger Cheese ReviewMay 19th, '06
It can be put off no longer. We must review the Limberger.
Bottomline - Stinky.
I love how some of the online descriptions for Limberger say that it's "piquant". Please. Would someone describe my stinky feet as piquant? No. My stinky feet are stinky and foul. So can we please just stop with the polite adjectives? Limberger is foul and everyone knows it. Certainly, if you get past the initial odor it has plenty of cheese character - Buttery and sweet even. But frankly I don't understand the attraction. I tried it on it's own and with dark bread and stout. Let me just say I won't be trying it again.
I found Limberger to be rather uninspiring, even if I put aside the smell. Rather mild in that respect. If I really had an urge for smelly cheese there are much better options.
The cat wouldn't go near it. Which is odd since he generally likes the stinky cheeses.
