COUNTRY CASTLE Limburger, 6 OZ

Limburger may be extinct in the US one day, so I got it while I could. I was raised by a CRT TV set, and good a healthy dose of Looney Tunes, which I enjoy to this day. This iconic stuff is literally, even aside from the money, the best cheese I've ever tasted. The smell is like stomach acid, but you have to get within about 4cm to actually smell it. If you nic the rind off, it's gone, and you are left without the whole experience, but still it's so rounded, rich, and just deep. I wish it was in the local store, or cheaper, because it's a niche product and all - anyway, totally worth it. Cheaper if you go to the seller's site, but hey, I didn't know what then. Still satisfied. Heck yes.

Good strong Limberger flavor. Rind was a little thick., but ok. Would have liked it a little thinner rind.

A friend once told me Limburger cheese is like a treasure guarded by a dragon. The dragon is the smell, and if you can get past that, the treasure is the taste. Well there ain't no freaking treasure. It smells like a fat, juicy bird that's been rotting on a hot sidewalk foe a week. And it tastes EXACTLY like it smells. Wretchedly putrid. If you want a delicious gourmet cheese, imported Dutch Edam is a much better choice!

best i have had in a long time

This stuff was super stanky, and super flavorful. Ate it as a kid, my it brought back great memories.I like it best on an onion and German mustard rye sandwich! With a large glass of ice tea! Oh baby it’s heaven on bread!

the taste is weak

Once past the aroma, great taste. Never tried it before. My days are numbered thanks to a disease that is killing me. My goal is to try things I never would in past. It’s great cheese. It’s Easy to find uses online.

Out of curiosity I decided to try Limburger cheese. I expected the smell to be unpleasant, but I thought it might taste good. It was the best selling cheese in America during the 19th century.So, the smell was actually faint. Unpleasant but faint. The taste was bad. Very, very bad. Spit it out bad.So, now I know. I can’t believe people ever ate this. I can’t believe anyone eats this.I gave it 5 stars because it was remarkably awful.
