They'll use the new cheese as food and their by products are what smells- along with the enzymes that they produce. The enzymes break down the fat and protein into specific flavor compounds- which in this case also smell. <br />Loved your post (as always) and Iris is indeed a beauty!<br />cheezmakerUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10599146980907629358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945607.post-43027136014096151422010-09-01T15:04:42.698-04:002010-09-01T15:04:42.698-04:00Just posted a link to your blog on our own: www.t...Just posted a link to your blog on our own: www.thecheesepost.com.

I guess my experience with that led me to believe Liederkranz would be similar. I was mistaken. :)<br /><br /><b>MrsBug</b> - I'll give that a try, thanks!Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17866627809585257034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945607.post-58227639426659866472010-08-31T11:01:35.459-04:002010-08-31T11:01:35.459-04:00It's so funny you mention this because my girl...It's so funny you mention this because my girlfriend and I just tried Limburger while we were on our recent "girls trip." <br /><br />The lady at the cheese shop gave us the best advice: cut off the rind. She said because it is a washed rind cheese, it's actually the rind that reeks. We did that and both loved the cheese that was left: like a more fully-flavored brie.<br /><br />Try cutting off the rind and see if that helps.MrsBughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06096080984625424734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945607.post-74626591230653450772010-08-31T09:32:13.438-04:002010-08-31T09:32:13.438-04:00Oh, and I prefer to think that it smells like rott...Oh, and I prefer to think that it smells like rotten socks on a humid August day.Alannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945607.post-59224071507973971992010-08-31T09:30:13.473-04:002010-08-31T09:30:13.473-04:00Well written and entertaining article, as always. ...Well written and entertaining article, as always. Made me laugh several times. I di-stink-tly recall that odor and we had many laughs over it, when the original cheese was available. It's amazing how something that smells so bad doesn't have a bad taste. Of course, it should be allowed to rise to room temp before it reaches perfection. It's just a question of who's room does it perfect itself in. lolAlannoreply@blogger.com
