Limburger

Also Known As:  Backsteinkäse, Backsteiner

Historically from Belgium, Limburger cheese is a favorite of Germans. It is made from pasteurized cow's milk and it's fat content is 20-60%. It is a light yellow cheese with a red-flowery rind. Limburger cheese is known for its very "stinky" aroma.
