About limburger cheese?

What exactly does it smell like, and where can I find it without having to order via Paypal or online? Does it taste better than Muenster?

    I am a former chef from Canada and it is my favorite cheese, it does not smell like feet, it does because of the bacteria have riper aroma then cheddar, I would check your local phone book for Ethnic delis and cheese shops, some supermarkets sell it, I know it is readily available here in Canada.

    Taste it is a bit firm like cheddar, a bit creamy like Muenster or Brie, is nice alone or with fruit, or in a fondue for a different side flavour, it can be grated, I like it with Blunderfleish an air dried German or Swiss filet of beef, salted and smoked then pressed into a block and dried like Italian proscuitto, but more of a dried smoky flavour.

    It can be used in most any dish, but will impart a more pronounced aged cheese taste.

    Limburger cheese smells like feet... simply because the same bacteria that causes our tootsies to be odiferous gives Limburger its unique taste and smell.

    Once you get over the smell, it has a pretty mild taste. I can't really say that it tastes better than Muenster because it does have a strong taste.

    If you have any gourmet food stores (Whole Foods, Wild Oats, etc...) you can get the Limburger cheese at one of those places.
