Over the past 10 years I've noticed limburger, with any label, become more difficult to find. ***** Foods in SoCal doesn't carry it at all anymore, and none of the local chains seem to have the stuff. Occasionally you'll see the spread stuff in a jar. That doesn't count in my book.
I found this brand today and grabbed it. The smell is similar to the other silver wrapped brand that used to be readily available. GOt it home and let it sit out to get to room temp because that's the way to eat this. Sliced some onions, broke out some capers and went to town.
It's got great flavor, and if mist prison guard can't handle it, go back to aerosol cheese product. This is a good as the old school stuff I used to eat with my Great GrandDad.
I have eaten Limburger since I was 5 years old and it seems harder and harder to get the real thing. Moose Brand in the jar for a few years came close to some of the brands we could get in Cincinnati in the late 40's and 50's. Country Castle makes a an OK Limburger, but I find that maintaining consistancy seems to be an issue, both in flavor level and texture. Cheese making is an art, so I can appreciate the problem. However, I like my Limburger with a higher aroma and flavor level. It makes the onions a little milder if you know what I mean. I have to recommend it to a friend because it is about the only Limburger available in these parts, so keep it coming.

I like to slice and use with black bread/or whole wheat crackers along with an ice cold beer. It does have a good taste but does not have the amount of creaminess that I have found in Limburgers of my youth. My mother and father used to always keep it in the refrigerator and I was the only offspring that enjoyed it with them. This particular Limburger Cheese does not do justice to the old days.

GOOD SEEDED RYE BREAD A SLICE OF ONION AND A BIG GLASS OF MILK - HOW MUCH MORE CAN A PERSON WANT!?!?

This cheese has a mildly bad smell, but that often leads to great taste. Not in this case. I work in corrections and we had a guy that used to smear his feces on the walls of his cell. This cheese tastes like that cell smelled. Overwhelming, disgusting, vomit inducing, and those qualities bloom and intensify in your mouth. I honestly do not know who could possibly find this flavor appetizing. Really really disgusting. I fed it to the dogs. It's the only food I have ever spit out, and along with bananas is the only food in this world I have an aversion to and will never, ever eat again.

This limburger is a true limburger that I've ate many years before. It is a very strong flavor, but once you've ate a couple bites, you (or at least me) cannot stop loving it. It's kind of eating a regular cheap cheddar cheese and then going to a very strong, costs more cheddar cheese--well like eating a cheap steak and one that that has marbling in it--no comparison.

This is a cheese that is hard to find, locally and not too popular. However, when combined with crackers and a good German beer, it is heaven. A very relaxing set of values.
