History:
Limburger cheese, as implied by the name, is the cheese originated in Limburg, which is one of the provinces of Belgium. Despite its birth location, most of the Limburger cheese made today comes from Germany, and has since about the 19th century. In fact, it was actually created by Trappist monks in Belgium. However, the cheese became so popular in Germany, the Germans took the recipe and made it their own. By the late 20th century, most Limburger was produced in Germany and even the Belgians regard it as a German cheese.
Feature:
Limburger is especially known for it's pungent smell and the surface-ripened appearance. The pungent aroma of Limburger comes from its yellow to reddish brown rind, which is soft and easily trimmed off.
