Limburger Cheese 14 oz
Heritage:
Limburger, first introduced in Belgium, is the most famous of all Belgian
cheeses. It was made in the Liege region and sold in Limburg. The Germans
began making Limburger and later naturalized it, making themselves the sole
producers in Europe. This assertive cheese complemented their taste for
highly-flavored game and meats. Today, a single cheese plant in Monroe,
Wisconsin, produces all the surface-ripened Limburger made in the United States.
Description:
A semi-soft cheese with origins from Belgium. Only one factory in the USA,
located in Monroe, Wisconsin, produces Limburger domestically. Limburger is
a pungent smelling, surface-ripened cheese that pairs well with hearty rye breads
and even a slice of onion.
