Limburger Cheese on Maui? You betcha!
It's associated with many things, but it's origin takes us to modern day Belgium, Germany and Netherlands. It is a cows milk cheese that we love to spread on dark bread and even better with a burger - A Limburger Burger with dark mustard! Cornichon on the side and you'll be transported to another place and time. The cheese is known for being on the stinky side and is often compared to the scent of body or foot odor. Not surprising since the bacteria used to ferment this cheese is the same on found in human skin, Brevibacterium. Okay, so it probably doesn't sound like the sexiest cheese, but is most definitely one of our more "manly" cheeses.
Sottocenere: Becoming a Maui Holiday Classic
Italian Cows provide the milk for this memorable and decadent cheese
that we always carry during the holiday months of the Year!
The rind is a finely ground layer of 12 spices, including truffles,
and the fleshy body is tickled with truffle shavings throughout.
Don't let this one slip by you if ever confronted with it's delicious smile.
"La Tur:" Another reason Italians love to Boast
We wish we had this cheese in the case at all times. The flavor is like no other and neither is it's texture-we especially love the firm but soft center and powdery dry yet damp exterior (it ages from the outside in). Check out our Facebook page and know when we have this handsome cheese available. He travels a long way to get here, not unlike many of it's fellow cheese case vacationers, and we are always so pleased he makes it the distance, all the way to Maui, most times unscathed.
