Limburger Cheese Making Recipe

5 2 reviews
Print Recipe
Limburger is a soft, creamy cheese with a soft, inedible rind. The cheese is usually creamy to pale yellow, with a darker orange rind. It can taste very strong, spicy and aromatic, but this can be controlled by the frequency of washings, and the amount of aging time. There is a hint of sweetness to this cheese as well. When chilled, it does not have such a pronounced odor.
