Brick - Limburger Cheese 8 oz.

DEEEELICOUS STINKY CHEESE !Something about stinky cheeses just reminds me of the cheese I grow up with in the Azores. (QUEIJO DE SÃO JORGE)Great in a sandwich but also great with some raspberry preserves!

My picky mother-in-law loved it. We got it for her for Christmas because she'd mentioned that she couldn't get any limburger cheese in her small town. Turns out, neither could we in our larger town. But trust Amazon to have a variety on hand to send out. It did get to her after Christmas, which sucked. But overall a great cheese experience.

I had to try Limburger. I grew up watching its odor make people pass out from the stink on the 3 Stooges. It smells like a dirty foot, that has never been washed, and one that has an untreated case of athletes foot.The trick is getting it to your mouth without inhaling that smell, and once it's in your mouth, your enzymes make it explode with flavor. The package has a table that shows you the 3 phases of its flavor based upon how long you've had it. It's an active culture cheese, so the flavor and character of the cheese is always changing as it ages. They ship it fresh. ( and your shipping might be delayed a week or so until the next fresh batch is ready) IMO it's Best to open it right away and experience all 3 phases!Will order again!Shipping is expensive because they're the only cheese maker in the USA that still make it, and it ships in a cool-pak.

Pleased with this item.

Between this brand and the only other “Bavarian” version available locally, this is the best and is true to the original Kraft variety I grew up with!

To eat with bread

I often purchase this brand because it's good quality & delicious. I love the taste of this cheese over a few slices of dry crispy wheat toast to complement my morning coffee. I've bought this Limburger many times & have yet to be disappointed. The vendor packages every order remarkably well in a cooling pack in securely sealed plastic. In addition to this, the supplier ships efficiently as I usually receive my Limburger in a few days to a week depending on whether I place my order during the week or at the weekend. In this case it was just two days as I made my purchase midweek. If you're on the fence, don't be. Chances are you'll enjoy Country Castle Limburger during your morning breaky every bit as much as I do! 🧀☕

Going in, I knew limburger cheese had a reputation for being stinky, but holy hell! It's like being stuck in an elevator with someone with horrid body odor. When I opened the box, the cooling pack didn't seem so cool. (Maybe understandable since it took a few days to arrive?) I stuck it in the fridge and a few hours later, put a glove on (Did I mention that it can be hard to get the stench out of your hands? And then the odor transfers over to anything you touch...) and spread a bit on some crackers. It didn't really have much taste to it....it was actually kind of remarkable. (Maybe it went bad?) The aftertaste however made me want to drink a bottle of mouthwash. As someone who likes things a lot of people don't (sardines, pickled herring, Flaming hot Mountain Dew, pickled pig's feet), I had to give limburger a try. I probably won't again....not at that price. Maybe if I was at a restaurant that served it on a sandwich, I'd be brave. But unfortunately(?), this particular cheese doesn't seem to be available locally and only a couple of places in the US still produce limburger, apparently. Don't know if I'd want to subject my fridge to having limburger inside of it again. If it was a living thing, it would probably run away from home.
