2150 6oz Chalet Limburger Cheese,
Limburger is a soft ripened cheese, that has a creamy texture and buttery, mild flavor with a tad of saltiness. This cheese has a significant grassy and mushroomy taste underlined by a delicate tang at the end. In the initial month of ripening, Limburger is firmer and more crumbly but starts to become chalky and soft at the end of six weeks. After two months, the cheese is much smoother and creamy. At three months, Limburger finally acquires the infamous aroma due to smear-ripening with solutions of bacteria.
Our artisanal cheese makers prepare this cheese from pasteurised cow’s milk sourced from local, organic farms. As a result, the flavor of the cheese is mild despite the stinky aroma. The exterior of the cheese is covered with a thin pale, orange-brown rind, an effect of regular washings.
Wisconsin claims limburger as our own — literally, since Chalet Cheese Coop is the only cheese factory in the United States that produces this unique, aroma filled cheese. We recommend you get to know limburger, but definitely store it in very tightly-lidded glass containers.
