About Limburger Cheese

Limburger cheese is famous for its strong smell but surprisingly mild, earthy flavor. It’s a soft, creamy cheese made from cow’s milk and washed with brine during aging, which gives it its distinctive aroma. Despite its reputation, the taste is smooth and tangy, especially when spread on bread or crackers.

Pairings

Limburger pairs best with rye bread, onions, and mustard for a traditional snack. It also complements lagers, dark beers, or even sweet wines that balance its pungency.

Funfact:The bacteria that give Limburger its strong smell are the same kind found on human skin, which is why its scent is often compared to body odor Browse All Cheeses →
