Bought something labeled simply “beer cheese,” in a Florida supermarket deli in the ‘80s. Very smelly...and very good. We called it feet cheese.

Liederkranz is my #1 favorite stinky cheese.

Every site depends on content, on ad clicks, we are not allowed to say this is just regurgitated nonsense?

Tete de moine, monk’s head cheese, is quite something.

There is a specialized blade for cutting it - insert the axle rod through the height of the cheese, and rotate the blade to cut off paper-thin, crinkling soft slices, tonsuring the monk.

Maximizing the surface area and the aroma. Possibly the durian of cheeses.

i remember a friend ordered it in a local shop and the person behind the counter didn’t want to make it, but did- other customers ended up leaving because of the stink lol- I like the taste of the cheese myself- also like liverwurst once in awhile- with onions of course-

As the sign in Baumgartner’s Tavern and Cheese Store in Monroe WI (home of the only Limburger cheese producing cheesemaker in the US) says:

“You Don’t Eat It With Your Nose”

Limburger and onion on rye, with a local beer of course.

I’ve never thought of Gruyère as a stinky cheese. The stuff is like cutting through wood though.

I used to love Liederkranz. Haven’t tried the “new” (since 2010) version.

When I was a kid my grandfather told me how they aged Limburger when he was a boy in the Dakotas. They’d wrap it in burlap and bury it in a manure pile for the winter, unearthing the finished product in the spring. To this day, I don’t know if he was just pulling my leg.

Limburger? Stinking Bishop?
Pikers.

German Tilsit. Cheddar is to Stinking bishop as the bishop is to limburger, and limburger is a poor red-headed stepchild to German tilsitter.

A cheese that smells like a high-school boys locker room 8 weeks into the semester and NOBODY has brought their strip home...
