Limburger substitute?
 

Since Kraft quit producing their Mohawk Valley limburger I've not been able
to find any other limburger in the markets here.

Can anyone suggest some other more available strong cheese anything like
limburger? I could experiment with purchasing unfamiliar types but uncommon
cheeses like those are very expensive for buying at random.

TIA.

Brick, true Muenster, and South African gruyere are also made from the
same bacteria (which is the same bacteria that causes foot and underarm
odor, BTW - Bacterium Linens).

I miss Mohawk and wish somebody would come out with something similar. I
tr6ied mixing regular limburger with cream cheese and was pretty disappointed.

I bought a package of Muenster a month or so ago. Very very bland.
Evidently it was not 'true' Muenster. How can you tell? This was store
brand - the only Muenster I could find.

There's limburger cheeese spread available at this website. Unfortunately
it's not available in Texas, just via mail order. My Ohio in-laws were able
to purchase it in a local Kroger there. They said it's even better than
Mohawk Valley limburger.

This is the true Munster, always round, either about 4" or 8", about
1.5 inches deep. Never a square, that is a North American abortion that
should not share the name. BTW you will always be able to smell the
true Munster, regardless of how well wrapped it is.

And for those looking for strong cheeses, any of these would prove
very satisfactory:

_Brevibacterium linens_. Responsible for, amongst other things, the
orange colour. Only one member of a complex ecosystem which is still not
fully understood.
