About Limburger

Limburger is a semi-soft, surface-ripened cheese known for its bold aroma and creamy texture. Originally from the Limburg region, now part of modern Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands, it has become a staple in German and Belgian cuisines. Limburger is made from pasteurized cow's milk and owes its signature smell to the bacterium Brevibacterium linens, which develops during the aging process. While its pungent scent may be polarizing, Limburger offers a rich source of protein and calcium, supporting bone health and muscle function. It also contains vitamins A and B12. However, like most cheeses, it is high in saturated fat and sodium, which should be consumed in moderation, especially for those managing heart health or blood pressure. Its earthy flavor pairs well with rye bread and onions, making it a unique addition to balanced diets when enjoyed responsibly.
