Limburger - Belgium, Germany & the Netherlands
Limburger cheese was born in the Duchy of Limburg, a state from the former Holy Roman Empire but is now the region that spreads across Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands. It has a particularly smelly odor (some might say it smells like feet), which makes its mild flavor quite surprising. The stinkiness comes from a special smear ripening process with bacterium. Once it's fully ripened, it turns from crumbly to creamy and is often prepared in a sandwich on rye with onion, accompanied by black coffee or a bold lager. That's a German sammy for ya.
