Gourmet Stinky Cheese

Browse our great selection of Gourmet Stinky Cheeses. Some people love them, some people hate them. It’s all about getting the cheese past your nose to experience the flavor and texture of the cheese. Many stinky cheeses have a washed-rind and if you like to pair these smelly creatures you can do that with a floral, sweet wine like a Riesling or Gewurtztraminer, a full-bodied red wine or try it with a beer, a Lambic. Consider it a dare. Try them and let us know what you think by giving us your opinion in a product review.
We will be adding exciting new Gourmet Stinky Cheeses frequently, so come back soon!

  • Limburger
    Strictly speaking this is a Belgian, not German, cheese. It was originally made in the monasteries near Limburg in Belgium but it was adopted, and indeed largely taken over, by the German cheesemakers more than a hundred years ago. Limburg has the typically pungent aroma of a washed-rind cheese, but you will be surprised by its mild texture and taste. It seems that it is the rind that is doing all... read more

Epoisses is prod... read more
  • Petit Livarot
    Petit Livarot is the smaller version of the Livarot which is known as 'The Colonel' because of the five strips of raffia which are wrapped round it to stop bulging. It has a glossy orange-brown washed rind which can become very dark and rustic looking. The golden paste has little holes and is soft and springy.

  • Chimay with Trappister Beer
    Chimay with Trappister beer receives a very personal preparation and maturing, resulting in an exclusive, authentic gourmet cheese.

  • Grayson
    Grayson is a soft, finely textured cheese with a orange-brown sticky rind, a golden semi-soft paste, a pungent aroma and a rich, beefy taste with nutty overtones.

This pungent French gourmet cheese is still made on the farms of the Pays d'Auge in Normandy just as it has been for c... read more
