- Fig with Mustard: Seasoned with fig liqueur, filled with fig mustard and garnished with ripened figs, this aromatic cheese takes on a fruity note and an incomparable character. Judging from the name - Feigenkäse (fig cheese) - one might expect a sweet dessert cheese, but the mustard mixed into the fig paste gives it a tart flavor reminiscent of an Italian fruit mostarda.
- Mediterranean with Cherry Peppers and Tomatoes: The southern sun, captured in semi-soft cow's milk cheese, lends this Bavarian specialty a Mediterranean character. The cheese is pierced and filled with a paste made of African cherry peppers and sun dried tomatoes. The sweetness from the tomatoes melds with the natural, edible rind, leading the senses onto an exotic, hot-blooded adventure. In the original German, this cheese is called Wolfsblut, or “wolf's blood.” It is so named for the bright red fruits and the cheesemakers' last name, Wolf.
- Smoked with Plum: This cheese resembles a smoked brick, but with juicy dark plums on top. This variety particularly stands out for its different look. The taste is smoky, fruity, with a complex finish.

What wretched stuff is this? Spoiled with a sharp ammonia smell. Effective in eliciting the gag reflex when placed upon the tongue. Stop selling this, igourmet -- at best, it taints your reputation.
Comments about Odenwälder Flavored Cheeses:
The smoked plum cheese had a unique taste - a combination of the creamy cheese, slight sweetness from the plum and a smokey overlay. We had this cheese as hors d'oeuvres in a cheese plate where it gave an interesting contrast to the more standard cheeses. It would also be good in salads because it has a nice blend of sweet and savory. Not nearly as sweet as I thought it would be, which is good. Similar to a creamy goat cheese with fruit without the tang that comes from goat. Nice change of pace.
Comments about Odenwälder Flavored Cheeses:
I love both figs and mustard can could find no evidence of either by taste or sight. There was a slight greenish liquid present. This was sharp and very hard; nearly impossible to use with crackers. I'll try it melted into pasta or rice, I guess.
Comments about Odenwälder Flavored Cheeses:
One of my favorite dishes is grilled pork loin with plum sauce, so I was excited to try this cheese. It was sweet and smokey plums over a full-bodied cheese, which really gave it a punchy flavor. I had it on sandwiches or mixed into a beet salad. Very good. Would try the fig-mustard flavor next.
Comments about Odenwälder Flavored Cheeses:
I love cheese and I did not like this one at all. It had a very odd flavour and smell and it unfortunately ended up in the bin. Save your money and buy something else.
